FGDLA Webinar Synopsis: Ethical AI for Instructional Design
Hosted by: Federal Government Distance Learning Association (FGDLA)
Presented by: David Palmer and Alberta Comer

Overview
This session explored how federal training teams can modernize instructional design using Blackboard's new AI-powered tools, built for security, efficiency, and ethical compliance. Designed for mission-driven agencies under budget constraints, the webinar emphasized how instructors can save time and increase readiness without compromising on design standards.
A Few Key Highlights
- AI That Works Like a Wingman
David and Alberta demonstrated how instructors can instantly generate course structures, modules, assessments, and rubrics using the AI Design Assistant, cutting prep time from hours to minutes. - From Document to Delivery
See how Blackboard can convert a simple PDF into a complete course, including suggested imagery (via Unsplash integration), interactive knowledge checks, and multilingual support. - Compliance That Scales
Blackboard is both FedRAMP-authorized and IL4-ready, helping agencies meet evolving policy standards without relying on outdated or custom-built systems. - Designed for Government
Every feature shown was mapped to real federal use cases, from DoD academies to civilian agency training, ensuring practical, scalable adoption of AI within secure environments.
Why It Matters
As agencies face staffing cuts and tech mandates, they need tools that streamline course development, reduce costs, and maintain compliance. This webinar makes one thing clear:
Ethical AI isn’t the future, it’s what modern training demands right now.
