The Marshall University Blackboard Ultra Academy is facilitated through the Design Center and is comprised of three requirements:  

• Completion of the one-week online course. 
• Follow-up consultation with a certified Ambassador or an Instructional Designer. 
• Your commitment to teach in Ultra for the subsequent semester. 

Upon completion of all requirements, instructors will receive certification, which they can display on their Blackboard course page. The certification will signify your commitment to providing students with the most engaging and current tools in course design. 

Online Academy courses are offered once a month. The registration deadline for our first cohort is May 15th.  This cohort will run from May 29th-June 12th (although we estimate that most will complete this self-paced training within one week).
