Optional: Advanced Assessment Training Session

The Advanced Assessment session takes approximately one hour. As a prerequisite for this session, you must complete Step 1: Ultra Essentials Training Session, Step 2: Assessment & Gradebook Training Session and the Migration Workshop.  You can complete this training by either attending an online or in-person training session OR completing self-paced training.

Irrespective of the method you choose, please ensure that you complete the Task: Advanced Assessment Completion Confirmation within the self-paced training module once you have completed this training session. We will collect and share details of your training progress and migration preparation with your School management and the Blackboard Ultra Upgrade project team so you can be contacted for further information and reminders as necessary.
