What is the Ultra Base Navigation?
The Ultra Base Navigation (UBN) is the left-hand menu that you see when you first log in to Blackboard.
It provides you with: links to Help and other resources; updates on your Courses, and an easy way to access your Courses and Organisations.
The UBN has a modern and simple layout that is designed to re-size for mobile devices, and which makes your experience of using Blackboard as accessible as possible.
