About the group
Welcome to the Blackboard Feedback Program!
By joining this program, you will be made aware of each opportunity to participate in our feedback sessions, including focus groups, usability testing, surveys, etc.
We run a weekly focus group and the session is limited to ten people. Anyone can take part, a basic knowledge of Ultra would be an advantage but a willingness to participate and share feedback is the key requirement.
Please sign up by registering for a focus group listed on the right side. As these focus groups are limited to ten individuals, please only register if you plan to attend. We will try to share the discussion topic ahead of the meeting. You will receive an email with the online location.

I would like the ability to name question pools I have used in tests. This would allow me to see the topic of the question pools within my test without having to click on each to open them up and see the questions.
