We love the idea of the Institution Page, but, we're not in love with the layout. The header is very large and could take up about half the real estate. The ability to use columns to organize the remaining content would be wonderful. It would allow for more content to be displayed. Here's what we created:

This is a great page for us to post graphic announcements and other important information for students and faculty. In the time we've been using Bb Learn w/Ultra Nav, the Activity Stream is everyone's least favorite feature.

Would love to hear from other users!

From watching roadmap webinars over the last few years with Ultra talk, the community piece is one that has been lacking. It is nice that they are making progress but as you can see they are still far from a similar experience. We have many tabs that we provide information on outside our courses and currently things like the institution page would not suffice in replicating what we already do. Hoping in the next 2 years that the rest of what can already be done the vintage version will be available in Ultra.

We are playing with our institution page as well. I have a hard time with the logo area - it doesn't tell me what size it is. I was thinking about fooling it with a blank transparency image and use the big background with the logo. I'm very curious what other institutions have done with their institution pages.

I played with the logo for a couple of days before I figured out that by adding approximately 40 pixels of blank space around the logo, it would fit perfectly.

Items we added to the Institution Page include

quick links to campus resource
testing/testing center information
News announcements for students

I have a good question - We have a toolbox on our orginial experience site so we need to have a place to put all links in the toolbox. I added it on our institution page, but one person in my unit asked why can't we put those tools in the tools page on the left - this makes more sense than having a module for tools. I was not able to find anywhere in Admin to see if I can modify tools.
