How to Navigate the Blackboard Ultra Courses Page

On the Courses page, users can access all of their courses.  Each course has a course card that lists the course ID, course title, and instructor. If a course has multiple instructors, select Multiple Instructors for a list. Select More info to see the description and schedule, if added.

Open a course card’s menu to access the management options. Instructors can make their courses private while they add or experiment with content, and then open courses to students when they’re ready. Students see private courses in their course lists, but they can’t access them.

Users can view the Courses page as a list or a grid. In grid view, instructors can customize the image on their course cards.

Navigation & View Controls:  Global Navigation: "Courses" option is selected in the left menu.  View Switcher: Toggle buttons outlined for switching between List View and Grid View.  Terms Dropdown: Expanded blue-outlined menu set to "Current Courses", with options including "All Terms", "Ultra Build Out Courses", specific semester terms (e.g., "Summer 2026", "Fall 2026"), and "Course Templates".  Filters Dropdown: Expanded menu set to "All courses", with options including "Courses I teach", "Courses I am taking", "Courses I support", "Open courses", "Private courses", and "Completed courses".  Pagination: Dropdown menu for page limits set to "25" items per page.  Course Card Actions (Highlighted Callouts):  More Options Menu: A red box highlights a course's favorite (star) icon and three-dot menu, expanded to show "Make course private" and "Hide course from me".  Course Title & Info: Red boxes highlight the "Basic Illustration" course title link and its "More info" details toggle.
