Step 1: Assembling your team
Moving to Ultra is partly a technical project, but it's also a modernization of how your institution delivers learning experiences. When making this transformation, you need to ensure you have the right voices and skills in your project team. We’ll give you an overview of who should be on your core team and advisory group, as well as some resources for communicating the project scope to them.

Step 2: Understanding your adoption position
Understanding your position at key points throughout the transition is essential for effective planning and management of your Ultra adoption. Our Understanding Your Position Worksheet is designed to be used at the start of your project to gather relevant information about the scale and complexity of your move to Ultra. Using this information, our team can guide you on the best approach to the transition.

Step 3: Setting goals and choosing your approach
Your move to Ultra needs to align with the strategic goals of your institution and fulfill some tactical goals to meet the needs of instructors and students. Learning Technology Planning Sessions with our Ultra Adoption Team will help you articulate how your project aligns with institutional strategic goals and define the tactical goals for the project.
Once you’ve completed these sessions, the Ultra Adoption Team will advise you on an adoption approach that will best suit you.

Step 4: Action planning for adoption
With your approach selected, you’ll be ready to plan the specific activities of your Ultra transition. We’ve got a set of resources to help you consider the scope of your tasks, and our Ultra Adoption Team will help you to create a realistic and achievable plan.

Step 5: Making the transition
To help you put your plan into action, we have a range of resources you can draw on to support the move to Ultra, from training materials to ready-made communications templates.

Step 6: Getting the most out of Ultra
Once instructors and students start using Ultra, you’ll need to keep them motivated to explore and use it to its full potential. Embedding Ultra isn't just focused on the point of initial adoption but is an ongoing maintenance step. We have a set of resources to help you celebrate the successes, encourage instructor adoption and optimization of Ultra, and provide troubleshooting support for instructors and students.
