“…faculty members will be able to click an icon that connects them with various AI features…, like a grading tool, a discussion-post summarizer… Canvas’s parent company, Instructure, is also in partnership w/ OpenAI… so instructors can use generative-AI technology as part of their assignments.”
Instructors Will Now See AI Throughout a Widely Used Course Software
New features integrated into Canvas include a grading assistant, a discussion-post summarizer, and even a way to pair assignments with generative AI tools.

Since 2002 I've copyedited 282 scholarly books. Since 2018 I've taught history to many hundreds of college students. I'm proud of these contributions to society, and grateful to the public schools who taught me, and public colleges and unis who employ me.

I love reaching the point in the year where I know students well enough that my neurodiversity really helps me build effective relationships with them, and helps me to help them to manage their neurodiversity. I enjoy working with them and its really exciting to see them grow.
