The AI software that is used to generate rubrics in Blackboard is certainly limited in some areas compared to other current AI tools on the market. However, the reason for the limitations can actually serve as one of its selling points, based on your goals and priorities. Blackboard's AI tools do not "learn" as they are used, like other AI tools. The information that the rubric generator uses is not stored and therefore is not used to generate future rubrics, therefore, protecting faculty's intellectual property developed and published in their courses.
