Gentle reminder to Ulster staff that Turnitin has been updated, boxes need to be set up fresh (via Build Content) rather than edited this year. See blogs.ulster.ac.uk/turnitin/acces… for useful instructional videos.

This is really, really important for Turnitin users. We risked keeping the unsupported integration live in 22/23, which worked for us, but the firm end of support deadline is now 3rd July.

We have a new name, in our new Portfolio, Centre for Digital Learning Enhancement. Same great people, with some new faces too and we look forward to continuing to work with you all.

We have not tweeted in some time, but have been beavering away supporting Blackboard Ultra pilots and preparing for the big move before September 2024. Our resources are starting to come together at ulster.ac.uk/learningenhanc…

We are running a Blackboard Ultra launch event on the 10th May to share practice from our pilots and hear from others who have been on the journey elsewhere. Sign up is now live ulster.ac.uk/learningenhanc… We are restricted, by room size, to 80 people so consider registering early.

24/25 Blackboard Ultra modules are now available for Ulster staff to request. You can copy content from your Ultra Development Areas, at set up, or start with the Ultra template. Ultra support resources available at ulster.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Ul…

We have been running introduction to Blackboard Ultra sessions throughout the summer. Recordings are available here: ulster.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Ul… If you would prefer to join a live session there is one tomorrow, Wednesday 14th. Sign up at ulster.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Ul…
