Set up your assessment and Gradebook in Ultra!
The Assessment tool guide provides instructions on a range of centrally supported assessment tools, including information on their features, limitations and recommendations for different use cases.
Set up your Total Percentage and Overall Mark columns in Gradebook early to streamline grade finalisation this semester. If you need help or advice, book a consultation with an eLearning Adviser.
See the Ultra Gradebook guide >>
Control the release of results in Ultra – Posting
During marking and mark moderation, you may not be ready for students to see their results. The publication of results in Ultra is controlled by posting (not by hiding Gradebook columns, which may also hide assessment submission links).
Please remember to set the feedback release date for Turnitin assignments to a future date, as Turnitin will automatically post results once that date has passed.
See the Ultra release of results guide >>
Posting tracking
The Progress Tracking tool in Ultra assists students track the course content or activities that they have accessed. Students can manually check-off resources as complete, supporting self-directed learning. Course coordinators can also monitor student engagement within individual course resources (Echo360, 3m 17s).

Request recordings of additional teaching activities
You can now request automatic recordings for all teaching activities scheduled in the timetable, including seminars, tutorials and workshops. Lectures delivered in all centrally controlled teaching spaces with 20 seats or more are automatically recorded and are made available in Echo360 via the lecture recordings link in the associated Learn.UQ course. You are not required to submit a request to have lectures recorded in this instance.
