Ultra Course View is now available in HuskyCT!

UConn introduced the new version of Blackboard into our HuskyCT platform, called Ultra Course View (UCV), in 2024. Blackboard refers to this new version as both "Ultra Course View" or just "Ultra." UConn, however, will continue to refer to it as HuskyCT. The previous version, known as "Original Course View" (OCV) will be discontinued at the end of 2026, so both EdTech and ITS are working with UConn's teaching community to stay ahead of this change. Accordingly, all 1000- and 2000-level courses used UCV for the 2024-25 academic year, and beginning with Fall 2025, all courses (3000-level and above) will use UCV. This timeline will ensure that all academic courses have converted to UCV well before OCV is no longer available.

Workshops and more information are offered through CETL-Educational Technologies throughout the summer and academic year. More information can be found on the Ultra Course View section of this site.

If you'd like to learn more about upgrades to HuskyCT, keep an eye on this page and the Daily Digest, attend a HuskyCT workshop, or contact the CETL-EdTech office.
