Summer/Fall 2024 - End of Original Course View

Blackboard Original course view (OCV) was the standard format for courses created between 2003 - 2023 (including Spring '24 courses created in November/December of 2023). 

As of From January-June 2024, all new Blackboard courses and organizations are were created in the new Ultra course view by default. Beginning with Fall '24 courses, with some flexibility to convert back to OCV by instructor request.

As of July 2024, new Blackboard courses/organizations are all created in Ultra course view, and cannot be converted to original course view.

Older Blackboard courses created in original course view have been archived and are still accessible to instructors for reference and copying of course materials. ITS Online Learning Services offers a range of training and support resources for copying and updating content from archived OCV courses/organizations into Ultra course view.
