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 2024, all new Blackboard courses and organizations are created in the new Ultra course view by default. Beginning with Fall '24 courses, new Blackboard courses/organizations cannot be converted to original course view.

Older Blackboard courses created in original course view have been preserved archived and are still accessible to instructors for archival purposes only. ITS Online Learning Services offers support resources for copying and updating content from archived OCV courses/organizations into Ultra course view. As of the end of Summer 2024, all Blackboard content must first be copied into an Ultra course view space before ITS/OLS can provide further technical assistance.
