Getting started with Learn Ultra

Learn Ultra is the new and improved version of the University’s Virtual Learning Environment, Learn. 

In order to make sure that the move to Learn Ultra is as smooth as possible, the project team has created training and support resources. 

Attending a training session will allow you to get the most out of everything the improved version of Learn has to offer. Feedback from the Early Adopter programme has been that engaging with training and support resources was helpful prior to rebuilding courses in Learn Ultra. 

We therefore advise you to put an additional two hours aside to engage with training and support in addition to your usual course preparation time.

Through training, you will gain a thorough understanding of the updated platform, relearn how to use the new and improved features as well as get hands-on, task-based experience. 

Browse our sessions to find a date and time that works for you. Use the link below to jump straight to the session booking information via People & Money. Within here click on the Enrol button at the top of the page to see the course date and location options.

Support and resources can also be found by visiting the Learn Ultra SharePoint.
