What does NOT convert to Ultra Course View?
When converting your course from Original to Ultra Course View, some features will not convert and will be removed. We recommend requesting an Ultra Preview course to preview and prepare your course content before moving your Live course to Ultra.
Please contact the Center for Instructional Technology for more information.
These items are removed from the course when you convert permanently to Ultra Course View
