Learn VLE upgrade to Ultra Base Navigation
Upcoming switch to Ultra Base Navigation is first step towards upgrading the University’s Virtual Learning Environment.
Information Services (ISG) will switch on Ultra Base Navigation on Tuesday 28 June 2022 and the upgraded system will go live by close of play.
Learn will be unavailable between 9am and 5pm while the configuration is completed.
Ultra Base Navigation will bring a new and simplified layout, designed with mobile devices in mind. A refined navigation menu will allow staff and students to not only quickly access courses, but also engage with key information across all courses in one place.
The upgrade will improve accessibility and provide a significantly better digital experience for our University community.
Ultra Base Navigation is the first phase of upgrading Blackboard Learn, the University’s virtual learning environment, to Learn Ultra. It provides the foundation for the full upgrade which is due to rollout across the University in 2023.
