Blackboard is Aberystwyth University’s online learning environment. Blackboard has a range of tools for communication, collaboration, assessment, feedback, reflection and content management, and provides an online space for activities to support learning and teaching. You can access Blackboard via http://blackboard.aber.ac.uk with your Aberystwyth username and password.
We provide a number of training courses, FAQs and Guides to help you get the most out of your modules in Blackboard:
Required Minimum Presence (RMP)
All taught undergraduate and postgraduate modules must adhere to our Required Minimum Presence (RMP). The RMP is informed by recognised good practice in the sector as well as by feedback from AU students.
Blackboard Learn Ultra
Welcome to our webpage on Blackboard Ultra. Blackboard Ultra is a project being run by the Learning and Teaching Enhancement Unit that sees us move from our current version of Blackboard, Blackboard Original, to a new version: Ultra.
On this webpage, you will find the relevant guidance and FAQs for staff and students to assist you with this move. As we move through the project, this webpage will be updated with further support materials.
We are also blogging about our move to Ultra to keep you updated on our progress. We will be using the weekly bulletin to communicate key changes, updates and information to staff and students.
