Once your Blackboard Ultra course shell has been created, these resources will help you get started with building and managing your course:
- Getting Started for Blackboard Instructors
- Course and Content Management
- Blackboard Ultra Video Resources for Instructors
- Grading and Gradebook
- Announcements and Course Communication
We recommend starting with the Getting Started page, then moving to Course and Content Management as you begin adding your syllabus, modules, assignments, and other course materials.
