Instructional Design Center Updates

Below are updates and timely information from Instructional Design Center.

New Blackboard Ultra Updates

The latest Blackboard Ultra upgrades are all available on our New Blackboard Ultra Updates page.

Update 12/19/2024

Due to a recent ruling from the Department of Justice regarding digital accessibility and ADA compliance, NDSU will work to discontinue the use of the legacy Blackboard platform and move to Blackboard Ultra by spring 2026. This will allow instructors to have an easier timecomplying with ADA requirements and provide a more consistent and accessible student experience. The Provost’s Office is partnering with IT to ensure all departments get the training they need for this transition, and department heads will schedule consultations with Instructional Design staff so that full departments can be supported and trained as a cohort throughout 2025. The process will take each cohort around 4 weeks to complete with consultations. More information on moving to Blackboard Ultra will come from IT’s Instructional Design Center.
