Tell me about Rasmussen University's online course platform: Blackboard Ultra
Answer
Beginning in Spring Quarter 2021, Rasmussen University transitioned to Blackboard Ultra, a mobile and tablet-friendly online learning platform. Blackboard Ultra uses an intuitive and responsive design that adjusts to whatever device you use to access your courses. This provides you with more flexibility and choice in how you learn.
Additionally, Blackboard Ultra offers a streamlined grade book, pop-up announcements, and an Activity Stream to quickly identify due dates and important information across your courses, all of which should make learning easier and more effective.
Rasmussen students will fully experience this new system in April 2021. To help prepare you for this transition, the following resources are currently available:
- A brief tutorial video for navigating Blackboard Ultra (also available below under Media)
- Access the Blackboard Ultra Orientation Course through the ‘Courses’ icon on the Rasmussen Student Portal
If you would like more assistance in navigating your course and the Blackboard Ultra platform, Peer Tutors are available online by appointment through Learning Services.
