This article covers how instructors can convert their HuskyCT Original course to Ultra Course View.

It is strongly recommended that instructors only follow this conversion process if they are 100% ready to convert their Original course to Ultra. The conversion process can irrevocably affect certain course content (i.e., embedded Kaltura media).

🔎 If you would like to preview your Original course in Ultra without potentially affecting the course content and materials, please see this article:

Video Instructions

Step 1: Convert to Ultra

  1. Log in to HuskyCT

  2. From the Courses tab, click into the course.

  3. Before starting the conversion process, the course must be set to private. To make the course private, click the lock icon in the upper-righthand corner. A red, locked icon will indicate the private status.

  4. Once the course is private, click the orange pencil icon.

  5. Then click Try the Ultra Course View.

  6. While your course is converted, you will be returned to the Courses tab.

  7. You will receive a notification email when the course has been converted.

  8. Refresh your browser and from the Courses tab, your Ultra course will now have a colored strip next to it.

Step 2: Ultra Conversion Preview

Initially, you will be looking at the converted course in Ultra preview mode. You will need to approve the conversion to make it final. While it is possible to revert to Original from the preview version, some course materials (i.e., Kaltura embeds) maybe affected. Any changes made while in the Ultra preview will be lost upon final conversion.

  1. Enter your course. You will receive a report of all the things that were not perfectly converted.

  2. To return to the Original course view, click Back to Original Course button on the page footer. This will roll back any changes made to the course. This step can only be performed in the preview mode.

    1. If you choose to return to Original, you will need to make the course Available again by clicking the red lock icon in the upper right hand corner. Alternatively, navigate to Course Management >> Customization >> Properties and under Set Availability, select Yes. Once the course is available the visibility is controlled by the Course Duration dates found under, Course Management >> Customization >> Properties and under Set Course Duration. If you want to change this date, refer to Changing Course Availability

  3. When you are ready to finalize the conversion, click Use the Ultra Course and follow the prompts to finish the conversion and make it permanent.

It is not possible to rollback a HuskyCT course to the Original Course View once it has been converted to the Ultra Course View. If you need to go back to the Original Course View, the LMSDev version of your course will need to be deleted and recreated as an Original course and you will lose any changes that you’ve made after conversion.
