How it works

How the workflow fits

The problem it addresses, what it actually does, and how far along it is.

Problem

A general AI tool knows nothing about the course goals, the assigned reading, or what the instructor considers acceptable. Students need to know where the line is and how to check what they get back.

Solution

Participating courses can test assistants grounded in approved course material. Instructors determine how the assistant fits the learning design and communicate when and how students may use it.

Current status

Instructional AI is available only in participating pilot courses. We are evaluating learning quality and equity, along with how many students use it.
