The Answers pages below contain information about specific Blackboard Ultra features and settings, including guides on how to locate and set up course tools, and troubleshooting information for common problems.

Ideas pages (listed at the bottom) contain overviews and discussions on more general online teaching and learning questions, and suggestions about how to select the best instructional tools and/or policies to meet your goals.

• Course Roster — The course roster lists all users in a course and their roles, including students, graders, TAs, and instructors. Instructors can use the roster to add co-instructors/TAs/graders and to edit some course settings for other users. 
• Accommodations for Students — Accommodations are a roster tool that let instructors adjust course settings for individual students, such as giving extra time on all timed assessments. 
• Group Sets and Groups — Groups can be made once group sets are created.  Selecting "Custom" group sets allow for the creation of groups by choosing the students in each group,  randomly assigned groups can be made using the "randomly-assigned" group set, or use a "self-enrollment" set to allow students to pick their group.
  • Group Assignments & Discussions — This page shows examples of how to set up assignments and discussions with existing groups in Blackboard Ultra
• Managing Users and User Roles — Instructors in Blackboard courses (and leaders in Blackboard organizations) can enroll other users as co-instructors/leaders, TAs, course builders, and graders. This guide outlines the purpose and privileges of the different roles, and the process for managing user enrollments.
