Improvements to AI Design Assistant Outputs – 3900.108

Blackboard Learn SaaS  
Ultra Course View  
Impact: Instructors 
Updated Topic: AI Design Assistant 

We improved the following auto-generation features of the AI Design Assistant to have faster and more complex outputs. Outputs for learning modules are more descriptive and focused on the topic than in 3900.106. Assignments, discussions, and journals also present more depth in relation to prompts and content selected by instructors. In addition, images for AI Conversation avatars are more realistic. Instructors can now save time both with generating content and using that content in their courses.

Our latest optimizations continue the work we did in the December 3900.106 release to optimize rubrics. 

Image 1. The learning modules on the left were generated with the 3900.106 release. The learning modules are described with a few sentences. The learning modules on the right were generated with the 3900.108 release. The learning module descriptions are longer in 3900.108 than in 3900.106.

Two versions of the Auto-Generate Learning Modules page are shown together. On the left is from the 3900.106 version and on the right is the 3900.108 version.
