Hear from Leeds Beckett University's Digital Learning Service about a project to upgrade the University's virtual learning environment (MyBeckett) to Blackboard Ultra by the end of summer 2026.
Schools, Subject Areas and Course Teams were invited to register for their preferred upgrade window following an early adoption; scheme, which enabled the team to gather experiences on supporting the transition and learn how best to facilitate the process at scale. This has enabled us to tailor our support and staff development, building a bank of reusable resources.
With partnership at the heart of this project, this webinar will celebrate and share the collaborative approach taken to balance the need to upgrade against colleagues’ capacity to engage positively with change. We will consider project management, communications, risk, teamwork and lessons learned.
The Digital Learning Service is part of Library and Learning Services at Leeds Beckett University. The team provides phone and email support, colleague development and in-curriculum student sessions, and maintains / enhances digital learning platforms.
