Blackboard Learn Ultra Course View allows instructors to specify course wide accommodations for students.
Instructors can set the following accommodations:
- Time Limit Accommodation (applied to all assessments with a time limit)
- Due Date Accommodation (applied to all assessments with a due date)
You are viewing Ultra Course View content. Go to Original Course View page.
Accessing the Course Roster
Under the Details and Actions area in the right panel in your Learn Ultra Course, click on View everyone in your course under Roster
Setting an Accommodation for a Student
You will now see the course roster. To set an accommodation for a student:
- Locate the student and click the ellipsis button on the right side.
- Select Accommodations from the menu.
Setting Accommodations
You will now see the available accommodations for the selected student.
- Due date accommodation: Check this option to exempt the student from due dates. No work for the student would be marked late.
- Time limit accommodation: Check this option to add an accommodation for timed assessments. Once this option is checked, the instructor can choose to specify an extra time percentage or can select unlimited time.
- Click Save to enable accommodations.
Example: A student requires time and a half for exams.
To award time and a half, you would enter 50 as the extra time percentage value. For a 60 minute exam, the student's time would be extended to 90 minutes.
Example: A student requires double time.
To award double time, you would enter 100 as the extra time percentage value. For a 60 minute exam, the student's time would be extended to 120 minutes.
This can also be done next to the student's name in the Gradebook
1. Click on the Gradebook tab.
2. Select the Students list tab in Gradebook.
3. Click the 3 dot ellipsis that aligns with the student who receives accommodations.
4. Click accommodations.
This will bring up the same accommodations menu as above. It is a single tool, meaning if you enter it one area, it populates and saves for that student. It does not matter which method you use.
You can also enter single exceptions and exemptions for student assessments in the Gradebook.
