Blackboard Ultra View!

Blackboard Ultra Learn

Did you know that Blackboard is available via eLMS for course developers and program managers to facilitate training opportunities in the FAA?

The agency is transitioning to Blackboard Ultra View, which is shown to be simple, modern, and intuitive. This learning system is ideal for blended training, instructor-led sessions with web-based training, or even web-based training with discussion boards for additional collaboration. Not only are there several trainings available online, but there is a dedicated page on the eLMS and Blackboard Resource Center. The FAA Blackboard Team is always available for personalized tutorials… they can even create an individualized "Sandbox" to see how Blackboard Ultra View can work specifically for you!

Contact the AFN-120 Training Team for more information and to set up your Blackboard today!


Active Shooter Situational Awareness

Want further information on how to react when faced with an active shooter or workplace violence situation? This video – "Preventing and Responding to an Extreme Violence Event", includes behaviors of concern that serve as warning signs of potential violence. The video provides information on how to report your problems to hopefully prevent an act of violence from occurring. Watch the video and use what you learn to develop a personal response plan.


FAA Management Training

The FAA’s Leadership and Learning Institute (FLLI) offers various instructor-led courses for managers to assist and guide them through constantly evolving workforce demands. During the first quarter of FY24, the ability to self-register in eLMS will be open. Be sure all prerequisites are completed before registering for a course. The FLLI Course Catalog and Manager Self-Registration Job Aid can be found on the FLLI website.
