This update, called Ultra Base Navigation, allows you to see a global view of grading tasks, calendars, events and other relevant information from across all your courses. Your UB Learns courses still look and function the same way, and you will continue to log into UB Learns at ublearns.buffalo.edu using your UBITName, password and two-step verification.

Ultra Base Navigation is part of the latest Blackboard user interface, called Blackboard Ultra Experience, which offers more intuitive interactions and a modern, responsive design; Ultra Courses are the second phase of the Blackboard Ultra Experience, and more information will be available on Ultra Courses later in 2020.
