One of the advantages of our move to Blackboard Ultra is the ongoing potential for new feature releases and updates. New releases take place on the first Thursday evening of every month, which is much more frequently than for Blackboard Original. We communicate about new features and changes via this blog. If you want to be kept up to date with the latest information, we recommend subscribing to the blog.
