Introduction

AI Design Assist

Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) can be used to aid in materials development in Bb Ultra Course View. AI Design Assist was created in partnership with Microsoft’s Azure Open AI. It can:

  • Generate modules
  • Create rubrics
  • Create questions banks
  • Design assessments

At all stages of the process, you can adjust the complexity of the of content and customize what the AI generates. You can even use generated images from Unsplash to give your course a unique look.

While this is a powerful tool, please note that with all uses of AI you are the subject matter expert, and the human who is responsible for your course content. Even if you use AI tools, you are in the driver's seat and responsible for all content/material creation within the course. Use AI responsibly, and make sure to edit and correct any content generated by these or any other AI tools.

AI generated work should be:

  • Lawful
  • Ethical
  • Fair
  • In consideration of privacy, security and safety.
