Ultra Base Navigation (UBN) is what you see when you first log in to Blackboard. The default landing site is the Courses list. You can navigate through the menu of options to find support resources in the Institution Page, Messages, quick access to Grades, and a Calendar that pulls from all of your enrolled courses with due dates.
The Ultra Base Navigation will include menu items such as Institution Page, your profile page, Activity Stream, Courses, Calendar, Messages and Grades. As you navigate Blackboard, the menu will always be visible on the left side of the screen.
Courses and other Blackboard content will open in layers in the foreground. To return to the base navigation menu, click the purple X at the top left corner.
