Ultra Documents are a versatile content type in Blackboard that allow you to combine a variety of materials for students to view together, such as text, multimedia, and attachments.
For example, as a single page, you can include introductory text for a lesson, an image for your students to view and interact with, links to web resources, and one or more Microsoft Office files (i.e., Word, PowerPoint, or Excel) or PDFs. The materials are all presented together in the content list. The longer your content item is, the more your students have to scroll to see all the other materials in the content area.
For certain file types, particularly .docx, .pptx, .xlsx, and .pdf, students can preview the file attachments directly in the browser, based on your configuration. You can also allow or prevent students from downloading the files.
There are multiple ways to add content to the Document
