Blackboard Ultra (formerly Blackboard Learn) is ��’s web-based LMS (Learning Management System).

Our installation of Blackboard Ultra also includes features like Respondus Lockdown Browser, for delivering exams securely, and TurnItIn, for plagiarism checking. Via TurnItIn, students can submit written assignments and have them checked automatically. Faculty can also access an external TurnItIn Portal for checking assignments that are not turned in through the LMS.
