  3. 4.Open discussion about BB Ultra and other software utilized for teaching:
    • BB Ultra doesn’t support the function of “One at a Time Prohibit Backtracking” on tests used to have it on BB Learn. It would be nice to have this functionality on BB Ultra to prevent cheating.
    • Late submission of assignments will be automatically graded as 0 on BB Ultra and would not allow instructors to open and view the submission for grading with late penalty. It is better to improve to allow late submissions to be graded by instructors.
    • Sometimes BB Ultra initial connections are very slow.
