Register for Winter Teaching Academy

Details: Jan. 7 | 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. | Zoom

Registration is now open for our Winter Teaching Academy (WTA)! This year, WTA will focus on helping faculty convert their courses to Blackboard Ultra. Fall 2026 courses will all be in Blackboard Ultra, so now is the time to start making the transition if you haven’t started already. At WTA, you will learn how to convert your course to Ultra, use the features of Ultra (discussions, tests, accessibility, grading), add tools (LTIs), and integrate publisher content. Check out the WTA schedule to see what sessions you’d like to attend and save the date in your calendar.
