These sessions will be delivered face to face. 

Blackboard Ultra is the University’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It is a modern, responsive platform, designed to function on all devices (including mobile), and is used for all our campus taught courses. A series of monthly institution-wide sessions aimed at colleagues in Schools understand the basics of Blackboard Ultra and get to grips with the features they will be expected to use when setting up and delivering modules and assessing learning.

A key feature of these sessions will be to help colleagues design impactful learning experiences on the VLE, ensuring that the VLE becomes an expansion of the learning ecosystem.

In addition to these monthly sessions, we encourage you to reach out to us for one-to-one coaching on course design on the VLE via elearning@tees.ac.uk.

We have prepared a starter kit for all staff here: https://eatsupport.tees.ac.uk/staff/knowledgebase/staff-quick-start-guide-to-blackboard-ultra/for and a comprehensive self-study CPD package of learning here: https://blogs.tees.ac.uk/lteonline/2021/10/05/blackboard-ultra-self-study-cpd-2/
