Let Blackboard AI inspire you and save you time! The new Blackboard AI Design Assistant is a powerful set of tools that aids instructors in creating and designing course content. By using simple information, such as a course name, description, and/or learning objectives, Blackboard’s AI Design Assistant can draft a course structure along with module titles, descriptions, and images. It can also create rubrics and content-based tests and discussions. Faculty are always in control over what does and does not go into the course by having to review and accept/exclude the AI generated content. During this session, you will see how Blackboard’s AI Design Assistant Tools have the potential for a positive impact on productivity and efficiency and serve as inspiration for content creation.
The event will be in-person and via Zoom. Choose what works best for you.
