Blackboard has added an AI Design Assistant (Auto-Generate) into Learn Ultra courses. This feature can help build different areas in courses. It can auto-generate learning modules, create rubrics, generate discussion prompts, create question banks, and design assessments. At all steps in the course design process, adjustments can be made to the content, customizing everything that the Auto-Generate feature has generated.  

To request the Blackboard AI Design Assistant permissions added to your account, please submit the Blackboard Ultra AI Design Assistant request form.
