Whether you’ve decided to move to Ultra in phases or all at once, you’ll need a well-thought-through action plan to support the transition. While there are some differences depending on the approach you’ve chosen, there will always be a core set of work streams to plan for:
Communication: Explaining the benefits of transitioning to Ultra to instructors and students and generating the desire to make the move
Capability building: Making sure instructors and students have the skills necessary to get the most out of Ultra
Course content and design: Moving course content into Ultra and (if needed) creating course structures and templates that make the most of the new tools and features
Technical: Getting your technical set-up optimized to enable Ultra to deliver the teaching and learning experiences you want
Support: Having mechanisms and resources to support instructors and students through the transition to Ultra
Business processes and policies: Integrating Ultra with how your institution operates and is governed
It’s important to orchestrate your plan so these work streams are aligned. If you intend to transition to Ultra in phases, it’s also advisable to have a long-term program plan, rather than just planning the first phase of the move.
You can use our planning considerations to help you scope the project and create your plan.
