Instructors must select Blackboard Original or Ultra for fall 2025
Fall 2025 courses in Blackboard have been set to Instructor Choice, which gives instructors the ability to convert their shells from Blackboard Original to Blackboard Ultra.
When you log into your Fall 2025 courses in Blackboard, you will see either a pop-up window or a new orange-colored pencil icon appearing in the upper right-hand area next to the Student Preview icon. Clicking the pencil icon lets you select between the Original view you're used to and the Blackboard Ultra Preview mode to see what your course would like in Ultra. If you choose to try the Ultra Preview, do not make any changes to your course after entering the Preview Mode until you've either:
A) decided to fully convert your course to Ultra for the fall semester or
B) decided not to convert to Ultra and revert to Original Course View
This decision is permanent: UAA IT cannot change your course view once you've confirmed Ultra for that course.
