Instructional Design 


Role play option for AI Conversations 
Blackboard Learn SaaS  
Ultra Course View  
Impact: Instructors 
Related Topic:  AI Conversation 



We expanded our AI Conversation feature to include a role play option. Role play can enhance learning by providing active learning opportunities. Role play also encourages critical thinking. It also provides an opportunity for students to apply knowledge in a simulated environment. 

For example, a student could role play a doctor by speaking to a patient, played by the AI persona. In this scenario, a student gains practical experience in a safe environment for experimentation. 

Instructors customize the AI persona by giving it a name and image. Instructors also define the AI persona's personality traits and select the complexity of the responses. 

Instructors should always preview an AI conversation before releasing the activity to students. AI tools can hallucinate and introduce bias. It is important to ensure that instructions are clear and that the AI persona responds in an expected and appropriate way. 

We also introduced a stepped setup. This approach makes it easier for instructors to select the type of conversation and define the topic, student role, and AI persona.

For administrators: For more information on how to enable AI Conversations, visit our page for AI Design Assistant and Unsplash Configuration. AI Conversations must be on before you can select the Role play option. Note that toggling AI Conversations off after deployment stops AI Conversation services. Therefore, any AI Conversation activities visible to students will not operate as expected.



Video Studio: Viewing controls for captions and transcription 
Blackboard Learn SaaS
Ultra Course View
Impact: Instructors, students
Related Topic: Video Studio (instructor page), Video Studio (student page), Video Studio (administrator page)


In Video Studio, users can control the display of captions and transcription. 

Control captions display

Video Studio makes recordings more accessible by automatically displaying captions. To accommodate diverse learner preferences, individual users turn captions on or off.  For example, a student can close the auto-generated captions if they do not want to view them. To turn off captions, select the captions button next to the progress bar at the bottom of the video.
 

Control transcript display

Video Studio also automatically generates a transcript for created or uploaded recordings. As with captions, students can control the display of the transcript.

To view the transcript, select the transcript button next to the progress bar at the bottom of the video.

Students can view the transcript in-line and in full screen in Documents when videos are displayed three and four columns wide. When videos are one to two columns wide, the transcript displays in full screen.
 

For administrators: Video Studio is a premium solution. We are offering customers a free trial until June 30, 2025. This trial provides access to the full version of Video Studio. Video Studio is set to OFF as a default in test/stage environments. If you want to enable it in your institution’s production environment, you can do that for free until the end of June 2025. In the Administrator Panel, select Configure in The Ultra Experience is Here! module. Select Enable creating/uploading videos using Video Studio. Beyond this date, your institution will have to purchase Video Studio to continue using it.


Video Studio improvements

Related Topics: Video Studio (admin page), Video Studio (instructor page)


We have enhanced Video Studio to improve the user experience for instructors. Instructors can now:

  • Edit video title
  • Select to record from connected devices
  • Retry a failed video upload


Edit video title

Instructors can edit the title of an audio/video recording or uploaded file after it is saved to the Document.
While editing the document, the instructor can select the pencil icon from the top left of the video block.

After the instructor selects the pencil icon, the previously uploaded video displays in the Upload Video screen.
 

Device selection

With Video Studio, instructors can select the device used to record video and audio. By selecting the dropdown menu options for camera, mic, and screen, an instructor can choose from any connected devices on their computer.

 

Retry a failed video upload

If an instructor uploads a file in Video Studio and the upload fails, they can select Retry upload at the top right corner of the screen or Retry next to the Upload process bar.


For administrators: Video Studio is a premium solution. We are offering customers a free trial until June 30, 2025. This trial provides access to the full version of Video Studio. Video Studio is set to OFF as a default in test/stage environments. If you want to enable it in your institution’s production environment, you can do that for free until the end of June 2025.

Beyond this date, your institution will have to purchase Video Studio to continue using it.


Improvement to Resizing Blocks in Documents

Impact: Instructors  
Related Topic: Create Documents  

To help with resizing blocks that are vertically tall, we modified the resize handle. Now, instructors can resize a block by selecting the vertical edge of a block. It is not necessary to place the mouse directly over the handle. 

For administrators: A configuration option is on the Ultra Experience Management page in the Administrator Panel: “Enable support for customizing Ultra document layouts.” The default state is on.


Skip Link to Course Information 
Blackboard Learn SaaS 
Ultra Course View 
Impact: All users 
Related Topic: Accessibility Overview 

We added a second skip link to the Course Content page. In addition to the current skip link to tab directly into course items, users can now press the Tab key again to skip to course information. If users don’t use either skip link, they will tab into the course features. 

For administrators: There are no configurations needed.
 

Tests & Assignments


Print Tests with questions from Question Pools and other improvements 
Blackboard Learn SaaS
Ultra Course View and/or Original Course View 
Impact: Instructors
Related topic: Question Pools



Instructors can now print tests that include questions from Question Pools. We also combined, the answer key and the corresponding test. This ensures that users always have an answer key that matches the test. We generate the answer key and print it ahead of the test. We also labeled the Answer Key to ensure awareness.  


The system generates a different version of the answer key and test  each time a test is printed when the test:
 

  • Randomizes questions or answer options  
  • Includes Question Pools
  • Instructors can use the print option to save the answer key and test as a PDF.  



For administrators: There are no configurations needed.



Improved performance for assignment file submissions 
Blackboard Learn SaaS  
Ultra Course View  
Impact: Students
Related Topic: Submit Assignments


Working on assignments can be a stressful experience for students. When submitting their work, students need assurance that their files have been successfully attached, received, and stored by Blackboard. They also need to be  informed if there is an issue with their submission. 

In this release, we've made architectural improvements to mitigate against file corruption and to ensure files are correctly attached during uploads. These updates include:
 

  • Managing Multiple File Uploads: To prevent issues when uploading multiple files, students will now be required to wait for the first upload to completely before attaching additional files. 
  • File Size Limit Notification: A modal will display a message if a file exceeds the permitted size limit. 
  • Corrupted File Alerts: In the unlikely event of a student attempts to submit a corrupted file, a modal will notify them of the issue, and the system will alert the instructor.


For administrators: There are no configurations needed.
 

Communication & Collaboration 


Indentations Added to Discussions 
Blackboard Learn SaaS 
Ultra Course View 
Impact: Instructors, Students 
Related Topic: Discussions 


To better distinguish between responses and replies, we added indentation. 

We removed the delete option for the discussion topic. Instructors can edit discussion topics as needed. 
 

We're improving the usability and appearance of discussions. Areas of focus include navigation, clearer calls to action, updating UI elements, terminology updates, and others. We’ll release small changes in several releases to benefit users as soon as we can make them available.


For administrators: This feature is available for all Ultra courses. There are no configurations needed.

 

Learner Progression & Personalized Experience 



Observer Access to Documents and Uploaded Files and Media

Ultra Course View  
Impact: Observers 
Related Topic: Observer Role 



Observers who mentor students need to access course content to understand what topics a student is learning. Observers can now access uploaded files and media and Documents in their students’ courses. 

Observers are limited to the same file permissions that instructors have set for students: view and download, download only, and view only. 

Progress tracking must be on for observers to access course content through the Progress tab. 

For administrators: Institutions can choose whether observers have access to course content. Access controls are in the Tools area of the Administrator panel.


Download Option for Student Activity Log

Impact: Instructors and Administrators 
Related Topic: Student Activity Log 


Instructors and administrators can review the Student Activity Log to troubleshoot or resolve academic disputes. We added the option to download the Student Activity Log as a CSV. All filters applied to the log also apply to the CSV. 

For administrators: This feature is available for all Ultra courses. There are no configurations needed.
 

Integrations


Enhanced course grades public REST API – Exceptions (Student Attempts)
Blackboard Learn SaaS, Blackboard Learn 9.1 
Ultra Experience  
Ultra Course View  
Impact: Administrators  
Related Topic: Blackboard Learn APIs


We enhanced Blackboard’s public REST API for course grades to improve grading exception management for individual student assessments. Grading exceptions include:

  • extending due dates
  • allowing additional attempts, and
  • providing more flexible grading options.


Developers can now retrieve parameters for grading exceptions to an individual student's assessment. Developers can also set exception parameters for a user-specific start date, hide date, and other parameters. The attributes are in all the endpoints. The endpoints are:

GET 

  • /learn/api/public/v1/courses/{{courseId}}/gradebook/columns/{columnId}/exceptions/users/{{userId}}


POST

This method is traditionally intended for creating resources. However, there are specific circumstances with the GET due to some technical constraints and the POST for this occasion will be used to retrieve information about the exceptions, the retrieve will be made to a gradebook column (Retrieve all students associated to that column). This is because it allows the request to include detailed parameters in the body, taking advantage of the ability to send more extensive data and without the constraints associated with GET requests url length.

  • /learn/api/public/v1/courses/{{courseId}}/gradebook/columns/{columnId}/exceptions  


PUT 

This allows users to create or modify an exception for a student.

  • /learn/api/public/v1/courses/{{courseId}}/gradebook/columns/{columnId}/exceptions/users/{{userId}} 


DELETE 

Deletes the exception for a student.

  • /learn/api/public/v1/courses/{{courseId}}/gradebook/columns/{columnId}/exceptions/users/{{userId}} 

If the option is enabled, end users can read and update the assessment's due date, additional attempts, and rescheduled due date.

The required privileges and entitlements for student exception endpoints for course grades API are:

For GET and POST

entitlement: course.gradebook-item.exceptions.VIEW  
privilege: Course/Organization Gradebook > Gradebook Item > Exceptions > View Item Due Date Exception

For PUT and DELETE

entitlement: course.gradebook-item.exceptions.MODIFY
privilege: Course/Organization Gradebook > Gradebook Item > Exceptions > Edit Item Due Date Exception  


For administrators: This feature is available for all Ultra courses. There are no configurations needed.
 

Learn Core & Security


Course Access options in Course Settings 
Blackboard Learn SaaS  
Ultra Course View  
Impact: Instructors
Related Topic: Course Settings, Course Availability



Instructors can now manage course access settings through the Course Settings page. This change streamlines administrative tasks and enhances usability for instructors.  

Previously, course availability to students was listed as Open or Private. This state is now called Locked. Course availability and course completion have been clearly separated in Course Settings under Course Access:  


Locked – Course content is not available to students. Previously called Private.
Complete – No changes can be made by students or instructors.

 

Enrolled students access Unavailable/Available displays at the top right of the Course Access section. This information changes in real time according to the Locked and Course Duration settings. This change makes it easier for instructors to understand the result of the combination of the course states.

Additionally, instructors can access Course Settings from the Courses page. Select the course three dot menu and choose Course Settings from the dropdown menu. This action navigates the instructor to the Course Settings page.

For administrators: These changes in the user interface involve changes to role privileges, which are detailed in Course completion and new privileges for course access management – 3900.104. Instructors need the course settings privilege for Course Settings to display in their course: Course/Organization Control Panel (Customization) > Properties.


New role privileges for course access management 

Blackboard Learn SaaS  
Ultra Course View  
Impact: Administrators
Related Topic: Course Terms


In conjunction with the new Course Access options on the Course Settings page, we have introduced new and updated privileges.

The privilege allowing a user to change course availability and completion was split into two:

  • Course/Organization Control Panel (Customization) > Properties, Availability (updated privilege)
  • Change Completion Status (on/off) (new privilege)

Additionally, another privilege was added:

  • Partial Change Completion Status (on) (new privilege)

With this privilege, a user can mark a course as complete, but they can’t undo this change.

These new and updated privileges improve the administrator’s ability to respond to institution needs for instructors.

For administrators: Be sure to review Course Access options in Course Settings – 3900.104 for instructor-facing changes to course access options. Based on user feedback, privilege names for Change Completion Status and Partial Change Completion Status may change in the next release.


New course completion setting in Administrator Panel

Impact: Administrators
Related Topic: Course Terms


Administrators can now manage course completion through the Administrator Panel.

This gives administrators more control over course access that previously could only be controlled by instructors.


For administrators: From the Administrator Panel, select Courses in the Courses module. Choose a course, then select Edit. Under Availability, there is now an option to mark that course as complete. The Complete option in the Administrator Panel only applies to Ultra courses. Selecting Yes for an Original Course only disables notifications and may block other updates in the future for that course.
 

Mobile app



Blackboard mobile app rebranding

Original Course View
Impact: All users


To reflect Anthology Inc.’s rebranding efforts, the Blackboard Learn App will now be known simply as the Blackboard App. The change aligns the app with Anthology, Inc.’s rebranding efforts. The Blackboard App has an updated:

  • Splash screen
  • App icon
  • Name
  • App description 


These changes reflect Anthology’s vision, which is grounded in dedication to customer-centered innovation to inspire student success and institutional growth.


For administrators: This feature is available for all courses. There are no configurations needed.
 

Upgrade to Ultra 


Brightspace Conversion: Quiz Pools and Quiz Sections 
Blackboard Learn SaaS 
Ultra Course View 
Impact: Instructors and Administrators 
Related Topic: Migrate from D2L Brightspace 



Quiz pools are now converted to Blackboard. When quiz sections are converted to Blackboard, quiz sections now become separate pages on tests. 

Things to consider about conversion: 

  • Quiz sections can be nested in Brightspace, but we flatten the nesting structure during conversion. All sections are now at the same level, divided with page breaks. 
  • Section titles and section text are dropped during the conversion process. We create a page break between sections and questions remain in their converted section. 
  • The conversion process does not maintain the ordering of questions, sections, and pools. Instructors should review the structure and presentation of converted quizzes. 


For administrators: There are no configurations needed.



Batch Edit: Usability Improvement

Impact: Instructors and Administrators 
Related Topic: Batch Edit 


"Change dates to a specific date and/or time" is the most popular option used in Batch Edit to change dates in a batch, so it is now the default option. This change simplifies the process for our users and helps instructors to prepare courses for teaching and learning even faster. 

For administrators: There are no configurations needed.
