This item is essentially looking at ChatGPT4 to create school-developed ‘Agents’, and potentially using third-party tools allow these to integrate with Canvas LMS.
These AI agents would work as ‘avatars’ (a co-pilot) for the teacher. They contain subject specific knowledge defined by the teacher, and are given parameters for how to respond to student questions, how to give feedback, advice on performance standards, worked examples to use, et cetera.
The development work is in the setup of the Agent (training) and then training students how to use it effectively.
