About This Event

This is event is part of a monthly series. In this session, we will explore how generative AI tools and browser-based extensions can support instructors in managing Canvas course content, including creating modules, building pages, and looking for gaps in content or necessary changes. We will discuss how these tools operate, acting on an instructor’s behalf within their own authenticated Canvas session, and what that means for review and oversight. We will also address UT Austin's data guidance as it applies to this kind of automation. Outcomes Determine which Canvas content management tasks are appropriate to delegate to AI and which require direct instructor review before publishingPractice using AI tools to create course modules and style course contentMonitor my AI usage to understand the relative cost of my interactions with AI
