Blackboard is the supported Learning Management System at Syracuse University. From this page you can choose which version of Blackboard you would like information for.
ITS and Online Learning Services (OLS) are offering instructors to begin teaching their credit-bearing courses in the Ultra Course View. Syracuse University will complete the transition from original courses to ultra courses during the summer of 2024.
Beginning with the Summer 2024 term, courses will be created by default in the ultra format and instructors can request that the course get reverted to Original by emailing help@syr.edu. For the Fall 2024 term, all newly-created courses will be in
ultra course view.
Instructors will retain access to their previously-offered original courses to copy content into ultra courses and for record keeping purposes.

Instructors are encouraged to evaluate the Ultra Course View and make the move to an ultra course when they are ready by submitting a request for an ultra course; they can do so as early as Spring 2023. By default, Blackboard courses will continue to be created in the original view until Spring 2024 or an instructor requests the change. An instructor can request the change in any one course — they do not have to transition all of their courses to ultra at the same time until Fall 2024.
