# Learn@Seneca (Blackboard) navigation to be updated on Jan. 2, 2026

Kicking off the new year and in time for the start of the Winter 2026 Term, [Learn@Seneca](https://learn.senecapolytechnic.ca/ultra/?_gl=1*kt1fp3*_ga*NDA5ODU0ODI4LjE3NjUzMTM5MzU.*_ga_NKW0CZJEK5*czE3NjU5MTQ1NTMkbzMkZzEkdDE3NjU5MTQ1NTUkajU4JGwwJGg0NzQ3ODU2NzY.) will gain a number of visual changes and improvements on Friday. Jan. 2.

If you are a new student at Seneca Polytechnic, we believe you will have a great experience with Learn@Seneca from Day 1; if you are a returning student, then some of those changes and improvements will be immediately noticeable.

### **What’s changing?**

The changes and improvements to the platform’s navigation and overall user experience include:

- A cleaner layout with less clutter, making it easier for you to find what you need
- Main tabs that are easier to access
- Faster page-loading times
- Course content that’s easier to view, e.g., key panels such as Announcements, Calendar and Discussions opening in full-screen mode
- Enhanced navigation, e.g., a Home button replacing the previous “X” that returns you to your landing page
- A new Course Switcher feature that allows you to jump between courses more quickly

### **What do you need to do?**

Whether you are a new or returning student, there is nothing you need to do to receive the update and experience the improved Learn@Seneca, as the changes will be implemented by Blackboard on Friday, Jan. 2.
