Preserve Text Sizes – 3900.56

Blackboard Learn SaaS
Ultra Experience
Ultra Course View
Impact: Instructors

In the past, the text copied from Original to Ultra Course View did not support different text sizes. During the conversion process, text would be set to size 14 pixels. Now we preserve text sizes during the conversion process using the following logic:

  • If text size is less than or equal to 10, set to 10 pixels.
  • If text size is 11 or 12, set to 12 pixels.
  • If text size is 13 or 14, set to 14 pixels.
  • If text size is less than 17, set to 14 pixels.
  • If text size is greater than or equal to 17, set to 18 pixels.
  • If text size is less than 22, set to 18 pixels.
  • If text size is greater than or equal to 22, set to 24 pixels.
  • If text size is less than 31, set to 24 pixels.
  • If text size is greater than or equal to 31, set to 36 pixels.
  • If text size is less than 43, set to 36 pixels.
  • If text size is greater than or equal to 43, set to 48 pixels.

Text sizes are different in the Original and Ultra Content Editors. The conversion logic preserves similar text sizes to reduce cleanup.

Sizes are preserved when converting text associated with the following items:

  • Announcements
  • Discussions
  • Assignments
  • Documents
  • Journals
  • Groups and Group Sets
  • Tests and Question Types

For administrators: There are no configurations needed.
