About the group

Welcome to the Learn Ultra Feedback Program!

By joining this program (formerly called Insiders), 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 postponed the switch to ultra as long as I could, but now have been forced to move and have done so. I do not mind the new features but have been very frustrated that so much faculty autonomy has been removed. It definitely feels like a ...
