My Dundee

What is it?

My Dundee is the University’s primary online learning platform where academics can deliver their modules online in part or in full, and students can access content, activities, assessment and more as part of their studies. The platform is based on Blackboard Learn which provides a modern, stable, flexible environment with a range of tools to support all learning activities. We’re currently in a transition phase as we gradually move to the new ‘Ultra’ user interface and away from the venerable ‘Original’ view, so keep an eye out for news about that project.

Many issues you might experience can only be resolved by your school administration or your module leaders. For example: if there’s something wrong with the way a module is laid out or somethings missing – contact your module leader; If you can’t see a module that you expect to see in the course list, then you may need to speak to your school admin as you may not be enrolled.
