Introduction

To start the process of generating question banks you must first create a “Document” file and input some course content.

This step would be similar to providing course content for your students.  Remember, the content must be in text form.  The AI will not read attached PowerPoints, PDFs or Word Documents.  

If you have files utilizing one of those formats, it is best to copy and paste the content into Blackboard's document text box first, then save, then generate AI question banks.

Question Bank Generation from Ultra Documents

Ultra Documents blend text and media components, enriching content presentation. Question Banks are sets of questions you can use across multiple assessments. The AI Design Assistant can build question banks based on an Ultra Document to gauge your students’ comprehension of the document’s topic while saving yourself time.  

Select Generate question bank in your Ultra Document.

You have several ways to define the questions that the AI Design Assistant generates.

• Enter a description to narrow the focus of the questions
• Adjust the complexity of the questions
• Select the number of questions

You can select from the following question types:

• Essay
• Fill in the blank
• Matching
• Multiple choice
• True/False

The "Inspire me!" question type suggests a variety of question types to give you more options. 

Once you’ve finalized your settings, select Generate. Choose the questions that you’d like to add to your Question Bank, then select Add to Question Bank.

Locate your created question banks in the Details & Actions menu to the left of your course content. From there you can edit, add, or delete questions.

To add your questions to an assessment, create the assessment first and then select the “+” to open the pull down menu.  Select “Add question pool” to open the question bank.

This will open the Question Bank where you can select the questions you wish to use for your assessment.
