Ultra - Folders inside of Folders there are limitations

In building content in Ultra I am finding there is a limit in being able to layer folders in folders.  I am having to rethink and redesign organizing content.

Building Content in Ultra Course View

Comparing functions in Ultra to what I am used to seeing in the original experience I am wishing for the following:

• No easy navigation from document to document in a folder
• In the text editor being able to:
• align text
• create/use a table
• adjust the size of an image
• Textbooks - I tried to the Content Market but I could not get anything to work (I may be missing a step)
• Course banner - some of our faculty like to "jazz" up the course with a cool banner on the opening of their course
• My faculty like the themes option so those will be missed.

There is no Contact tool so it would be great if the Profile for those with instructor roles would include the following on their profile in a class

• Work number
• Cell number
• Twitter account
• Office Hours

I submitted an Idea in the Bb Community site.  
Here is the link if anyone wants to agree or add to my suggestion.

I am finding the course to look very "text heavy".  I am not seeing any options for images to peek users interest in the course.

Building a Course in Ultra

In our original courses, each course menu includes college-specific information including:

• Link to our Library's Copyright Policy
• Link to our Library's Research Guides (libguides)
• Link to our list of Blackboard video tutorials for both instructors and students
• Link to Blackboard Help.

In Ultra, these are showing separately under Course Content.

1. I am going to group the 2 library resources into a folder called Library Resources - can drag/drop right into the folder, no action menu and click moved needed

2. Delete the link to the tutorials since they are all only for the original experience 

3. Delete the link to Help.  

First thing I like about Ultra is there is a question mark icon "?" icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen which guides me to a web page with resource information for that area of Ultra.  

Hooray!

Happy 2018! One year on SaaS and Going Strong, Now, on to Ultra!

We have now operated on SaaS using the 2012 theme and all courses using the original experience for one year now.
We successfully updated to Q2 2017 (3200) in May of 2017 and Q4 2017 (3300) in December 2017.

Now comes the next step exploring the Ultra Experience and Ultra course types.

We are happy to participate in a Blackboard Program call UPP (Ultra Product Partnership).  We are provided a server with the Ultra experience and we can add courses, instructors, and students.

We were provided a 2-hour training session via Collaborate on some of the functions in Ultra.

First impression by our 4 faculty who are going to pilot this for us is they "LOVE' the look of Ultra.

Stay tuned for updates.
