Blackboard Ultra at Syracuse University
Welcome!
Blackboard Learn Ultra is the supported Learning Management System (LMS) at Syracuse University. The Ultra course view layout utilizes contemporary web design practices that meet current accessibility guidelines and responsiveness across all device sizes. This creates a consistent and seamless experience for both faculty and learners when moving between a desktop, tablet and mobile device.
