As UMBC finalizes its migration to Ultra, more faculty opted to use the new course experience during FA2023. Specifically, of 1588 total available Blackboard shells, faculty have enabled 991 using Ultra, or ~62%, -- a ten point jump from last year. Although a broad spectrum of disciplines including seven departments and eight languages opted to use Ultra by default, more than half of active Ultra courses were converted from Original to the new format by faculty this semester. 

Since instructors must choose to make a course available to students every semester, FA2023 also represents a notable increase in faculty use of Ultra courses at a much higher rate than their use of Original courses -- 89% of Ultra courses are available to students compared to 51% of Original courses. Additionally, Ultra adoption rose in STEM disciplines during FA2023. The College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences saw a 139% increase in Ultra courses from last fall while the College of Engineering and Information Technology increased by 55%.

Image 1: Comparison of active Original and Ultra courses over time (click to enlarge). For more information about Ultra adoption and course usage, please visit our Ultra course tracker.

With more than 200 enhancements and new features in the last year, Ultra courses offer more than 95% feature parity with Original including extensive updates to grading and assessment, content management, and course design functionality. Improvements to the gradebook, question banks, and groups management are key functional areas raised by UMBC faculty and addressed by Anthology. Ultra also provides exclusive progress tracking reports for learner engagement and new AI Course Design Assistant tools. 

Next Steps for Ultra at UMBC

The growth in Ultra course creation and faculty adoption fulfills a longstanding promise to the UMBC community to provide a consistent learning experience for students and support Blackboard innovation, beginning in SP2018 when four faculty piloted Ultra. Since that initial exploration, Ultra adoption grew slowly and steadily as faculty opted in to the new version of Blackboard when they felt ready. The pandemic also provided many faculty with an opportunity to try Ultra and move their courses. 

We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition for all departments and faculties. 

The campus community continues to play a vital role in championing change throughout our Ultra migration. Faculty and student feedback helps shape the ongoing development of Ultra and contributes to the dynamic platform students experience during their education at UMBC.

DoIT's Coordinator of Learning Analytics, Tom Penniston, recently presented his paper (UMBC login req'd), Toward a New Paradigm: Learning Analytics 2.0, at the 25th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCI International 2023, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The conference focused on adapting design to meet the needs of our evolving world, from the rise of deep fakes and battling the spread of extremist propaganda, to the legal and social implications of large language model AI, to supporting the needs of the neuro- and ability- diverse populations we serve. 

Penniston's paper analyzed ongoing UMBC efforts to leverage predictive machine learning models to inform empathetic behavioral nudges to support student success. He argues that through intentional, rigorous course design we can align intervention strategies with direct measures of learning at scale and thereby best support our students' individualized needs, while simultaneously improving institutional measures of success, such as reduced DFW and 6-year graduation rates.

Attending the conference was a great professional opportunity for Penniston, who was able to represent his department and the university, learn more from experts within the community, and network with peers. "It's really amazing and humbling to be surrounded at work by folks who encourage and support me to pursue these kinds of opportunities!" said Penniston.

Change happens all the time, whether we choose it, or it chooses us. Changes in leadership, priorities, structures and processes, like those that we have seen at UMBC, can be challenging, each initiating a transition that requires us to look beneath processes to understand the human side of change. In the end, it's our people who will make change happen and we need the right combination of knowledge, skills, and strategies, as well as a common language to understand, cope with, and adapt to change. 

Introducing the FranklinCovey Change: How to Turn Uncertainty into Opportunity Program. This engaging learning experience will provide practical skills and strategies to help us understand and manage our reactions, learn how to navigate change both functionally and emotionally, and will introduce a model that makes the change process predictable. Modules are included for different populations, both individual contributors as well as managers and leaders who need to proactively lead and support their people.

Please see the information below about the upcoming retirement webinars from MSRP Nationwide and how to register: 

“Catch the Match, It’s Back!”

·         As of July 1, 2023, the State Match was reinstated for eligible employee deferrals/contributions to MSRP’s 457(b), 401(k), or 403(b) plans or State higher education institution's 457(b), 401(k), or 403(b) plan (MSRP, TIAA, or Fidelity Investments), up to $600 per eligible employee, for the fiscal year. Attend this webinar to learn how you may be eligible and additional details to qualify.

·         Please note: eligible employees are those who are current members of the Maryland State Employee's Pension System. Employees enrolled in the Optional Retirement Plan (ORP) are not eligible for the Match.

 

“Frauds and Scams”

·         Identity theft, fraud, and scams could derail your financial life if undetected. We cover what to look out for, including some lesser-known schemes, and what to do if it happens to you.

 

“Managing Market Volatility”

·         A volatile market can make even the most seasoned investors unsure. However, navigating the ups and downs of the market doesn’t have to be so tricky and nerve wracking. This presentation will help you make sense of the recent market turbulence and discuss strategies to manage market swings in a portfolio, and what this may mean for your financial plan. 

 

“Borrowing Against YOUR Future: What You Need to Know”

·         Borrowing money from your MSRP 457(b), 401(k), or 403(b) plans before you retire is a big decision. It can affect your savings progress and long-term retirement goals. It’s important to learn about the impact of borrowing, terms and conditions, fees, and serious repercussions if you were to default on this obligation.

As the fall semester starts, the next update for Ultra courses brings improvements to the course management tools and a new stock image resource for course banners. Additionally, faculty will also have access to a new grading interface and we begin exploring an exciting suite of course design assistant tools powered by AI. 

Course Management
  • Search Unsplash, the largest stock image database for royalty-free images to use for your course banner. 
  • Batch Edit availability and due dates for content in your course by expanding folders and learning modules on a single page.
In the new Batch Edit, all items are now visible on a single page and you can expand and collapse Folders and Learning Modules
Image 1: In the new Batch Edit, all items are now visible on a single page and you can expand and collapse Folders and Learning Modules.
  • Copy one, some or all course announcements between Ultra courses, or from Original courses to Ultra.
  • Verify student engagement with third-party tools using Progress Tracking. When students complete content in a third-party tool, it will be marked complete.
AI Course Design Assistant Tools
  • A course-builder assistant. Create sample learning modules, titles, and descriptions. 
Example of AI-suggested course structure
Image 2: Example of AI-suggested course structure
  • Image suggestion and creation. The assistant can draw from the Unsplash stock image library and suggest thumbnails for illustration in learning modules or identify an image for the course banner. Functionality also includes AI-generated image creation based on course name and keywords.
  • Content-based test generation. AI-powered algorithms analyze an Ultra document's content or inputted learning objectives and quickly generate a diverse set of questions for a test or question bank. 
Example of AI-generated question bank
Image 3: Example of AI-generated question bank
  • Rubric creation. Drawing on an assessment or discussion prompt's content, the AI can analyze and streamline the rubric creation process according to specific learning objectives and assessment criteria.
Other updates in September include 
  • Flexible Grading, which was activated just before the FA2023 semester started. Flexible Grading features grade by student or question. Instructors can easily move between student attempts and keep track of their grading process. Flexible Grading is supported on desktop, laptop, and tablets. Faculty are invited to join a Flexible Grading preview and training session on September 18, 2023.
  • Auto-captioning of audio and video content used in assessment feedback and announcements. Auto-captioning also supports diverse language preferences, aligning with the user's chosen language in both Original and Ultra courses.
Faculty should see the latest updates in Ultra courses around September 7-8 2023. The next update to our Ultra test environment will take place on September 12, 2023; release notes are posted to the What's New in Ultra that same week. Faculty who are interested in test driving new features before they are released to production should open an RT ticket to request early access. Please watch the FAQs, including the What's New with Ultra page, and myUMBC for additional information about Ultra.

The success of students in a Blackboard course is often dependent on their level of engagement and their ability to stay on track with course content and assignments. As an instructor, it's crucial to have the tools and resources to monitor students' progress and ensure they are staying engaged and motivated throughout the course.

An Ultra course provides progress tracking tools to help instructors monitor how much time students are spending in the course, what content they are engaging with, and what their current grades are. This information is invaluable in helping instructors reach out to students who may be struggling or falling behind, and it also helps in retaining students who might otherwise drop out of the course. Progress Tracking is enabled by default in all Ultra courses as of SU2023.

One of the key benefits of tracking students progress is the ability to identify potential issues early on. If a student is not engaging with course content as much as they should be, the instructor can reach out and provide support, resources, or motivation to help the student get back on track. This proactive approach can help students stay engaged and motivated, and it also helps them to understand the importance of their participation and progress in the course.

Within the context of each content report, the instructor can easily check boxes for students who are not engaged with course resources and send a message.

Another advantage of progress tracking is the ability to monitor students' time spent in the course and where students are spending that time. Since students have the flexibility to log in and work on course content at any time, some may procrastinate or get sidetracked, leading to a decrease in their engagement and delay in completing assigned tasks. By tracking how much time students are spending in the course and seeing how and where students spend that time, instructors can intervene and provide support to help students stay on track.

Additionally, tracking students' grades helps instructors to monitor their overall performance and provide additional feedback as needed. With progress tracking, instructors can easily see which students are on track for success and which students may need additional support or intervention. From the student's progress report, click on the Student Activity report to view that individual student's time spent in class and its relationship to the overall grade. Instructors can quickly send messages from these various progress tracking tools as well as within the individual submission pages for assessment activities.

Here are a few practical tips for instructors to keep in mind when using these tools:

  1. Leverage learning modules instead of folders. With progress tracking, students can see how much content they've completed and how much content is left to consume or finish. This can be helpful when planning their schedules or motivating to know they have just one or two items left to wrap up.
  2. Stay proactive. Regularly check the Student Progress report, available from the Student Overview, and reach out to those who may be struggling. Provide feedback, resources, and encouragement to help students stay on track.
  3. Use data to inform decisions. The data you collect from the Progress Summary report can inform your teaching and help you to make data-driven decisions about how to support your students.
  4. Personalize your outreach. When reaching out to students, take the time to personalize your message from assessment submissions based on their individual needs and progress. This shows that you care about their success and helps build a positive relationship with your students.
  5. Encourage self-reflection. Encourage students to reflect on their progress and engagement, and provide opportunities for them to share their thoughts and experiences with you and their peers.
  6. Celebrate successes. Celebrate and acknowledge students' successes and milestones along the way. This helps to keep students motivated and engaged in the course.

Using Ultra's progress tracking tools can be an essential part of your teaching toolkit. By tracking students' engagement, time spent, and overall grades, instructors can intervene and provide support when needed, increase engagement and motivation, and help students succeed in their coursework.
