Coming Soon -A new way to navigate Blackboard Learn
Dear National University Virtual High School Student,
On August 29th, we’re updating Blackboard Learn to incorporate the new Ultra Base Navigation. This new navigation has a modern look and feel and will save you time with simpler workflows and easier access to important information.
What is the Ultra Base Navigation?
It is a new navigation menu that lives outside of Blackboard courses. It includes links to new pages such as the Activity Stream, Calendar, and course Messages, that provide quick access to the most critical information consolidated from all your courses. The new navigation replaces the current tab and module structure of your Blackboard landing page.
What does this mean for me?
· Your courses will not change. This will have zero impact on your course content and structure. They will look and operate exactly as they do now.
· Starting August 29th, you will see the new navigation as soon as you log into Blackboard.
How will this enhance your efficiency and experience?
· Modern, intuitive user experience. You’re going to enjoy this simple, intuitive, engaging user experience.
· Works well on mobile devices. This navigation is designed to work well regardless of which device you’re using.
· Aggregates important information. All your course information – like calendar, messages and grades – is now consolidated into one global view, minimizing the time spent navigating into each individual course.
· Only one click away. See something that needs your attention? Just click on it and you will be taken directly there, minimizing clicks and saving time.
