Driving results for institutions

We work directly with institutions to develop our AI capabilities. Our AI Advisory Council, comprised of education leaders from across the globe, collaborated through focus groups, technical previews, and policy discussions to ensure all applications of AI in Blackboard are appropriate for education. The result is hundreds of satisfied institutions, whose instructors are enjoying the added efficiency and the extra time it allows them to invest in their students.

"What the AI Design Assistant gives faculty is a wingman or a partner in developing content in a way that only another subject matter expert can. They can bounce ideas around with the AI Design Assistant—almost like having a graduate assistant—but the instructor is ultimately the one in charge."

—John Jones, Executive Director, Media Resources Center, Wichita State University
