Blackboard AI Design Assistant is a comprehensive series of tools designed to aid faculty in creating and enhancing their Blackboard courses more efficiently and effectively. While these AI-powered tools can provide valuable assistance with course design, faculty remain the subject matter experts and maintain full control over their educational content—they must always evaluate any AI-generated material for accuracy, relevance, and potential bias before implementation. Faculty have complete autonomy to choose which tools to use, can edit and remix any generated content to meet their specific needs, and are never obligated to accept AI suggestions. Built upon Anthology's Trustworthy AI Framework, Trustworthy AI Approach | Anthology, these tools prioritize transparency, privacy, and educational value. Importantly, any content generated by the AI Design Assistant belongs entirely to the faculty member who created it, ensuring they maintain full intellectual property rights. All work created in conjunction with the AI remains private within their Blackboard course environment and will not be shared externally, giving faculty the freedom to use their content as they see fit across any platform or context.
