Your Path, Your Way.
Your path to the Ultra experience can be as unique as your institution. Let us help you determine the best approach to meet your goals.
We get it. In a world where institutions must adapt quickly while minimizing disruption, having flexibility when it comes to change is a must. We’ve designed the Ultra experience so you can embrace change at your desired pace. So you won’t have to change everything to change everything.
Step 1: Turn on Base Navigation
Step 2: Choose Your Course View
1) Turn on Base Navigation
Enabling the Ultra experience starts with enabling Base Navigation. The Base Navigation completely modernizes the user experience outside of courses and provides quick access to the most critical information and tools from the moment you log into Learn. By default, courses do NOT change when Base Navigation is enabled. Therefore, you can provide a more engaging, efficient, and enjoyable experience for your students and instructors without having to change their courses.
- Modern, Intuitive, Responsive Interface Provide the simple, elegant, engaging experience your educators and students expect when they log into and navigate Learn - on any device or screen size they use throughout the day. Learn is now immediately recognized as a truly modern web experience.
- Consolidated Information From Across Courses Help students and educators save time by eliminating the need to go into each course and organization to find out what’s new or needs attention. With the Activity Stream, Calendar, Messages, and Grades pages, there is a consolidated view from across the Learn environment.
- Quick Access to Critical Information & Tools Ensure your students and instructors can quickly access the information and tools most critical to their success. It’s like having a virtual assistant to help them stay organized. Plus, Base Navigation is always one click away no matter where they are in Learn.
- One Click to Take Action Once alerted to what’s new or needs their attention, they can easily take action with one click from Base Navigation pages. It’s never been quicker or easier to navigate Learn.

2) Choose your Course View
Once you enable Base Navigation, there are two course views to choose from, the Original Course View and the Ultra Course View. YOU decide which instructors, departments, and/or programs use each course view. Or you can let your instructors make their own choice. Thus, you can have a mix of both course views (called the dual course mode), or you can have the same course view for everyone – the choice is yours!
- All Original Courses Not ready to introduce the Ultra Course View yet? You can keep using all Original courses, which your educators and students are already using today. Thus, you can benefit from using Base Navigation, found outside of courses, while minimizing change management.
- Dual Course Mode Looking for a gradual rollout of the Ultra Course View? You can introduce Ultra courses to select schools, departments, programs, or educators – while the rest of your institution continues using Original courses. If desired, you can even give your instructors the choice to individually choose which course view they want to use.
- All Ultra Courses Ready to go full Ultra? The Ultra Course View provides a more engaging, intuitive, and efficient course experience – and it’s fully responsive on any device.
