Examples for Organizing Ultra Content

One of the biggest challenges in the transition from original to ultra course view is the need to re-think how course content is organized. In response to student feedback, Blackboard has designed ultra course to keep content in single location and near the top-level of the course. In ultra courses, all course materials live in a single scrolling page under the Content tab and cannot be nested more than two folders deep.  For instructors that were accustomed to creating a number of content areas in the left-hand menu of their original course or used deeper folder structures, this can feel very limiting. This page provides examples from courses offered at Syracuse University to demonstrate approaches other instructors are taking in organizing their Blackboard ultra courses.
