  • 9/6 Updates and Enhancements to HuskyCT

    On September 5th, Blackboard is upgrading Ultra. If your HuskyCT course is in Ultra, on September 6th you will see enhancements, such as:

     Course Content

    • The menu for the course, which is on the left, will be on the right side of the page.
    • The plus sign for adding new items will be more visible. You no longer will have to hover the mouse over the line between items to see it.   

    Gradebook

    • You will see a new tab called “Overview” that displays anything that needs grading or posting.
    • If you click on a student’s name in the Gradebook, you will see a new tab called “Student Activity.” It will show a log of the student’s work for the course.

    Content Designer for Documents

    • This section will now include a Knowledge Check block. It lets you ask students multiple choice questions about course content and then provides them with immediate feedback when they answer.
