VoiceThread is a tool that allows you to have a conversation around a piece of media. In this training you will learn how to create and grade VoiceThread assignments.

Types of VoiceThread assignments are:

• Watch
• Create
• Comment, including stacked commenting assignments

These can be combined in various ways and can be used to assess student presentations as individuals or as groups.

The topic of this session is leveraging AI for creating course content. Currently, Canvas does not have an active, integrated AI component, but AI tools such as Chat-GPT, Gemini and Copilot are handy for developing course materials, particularly more rote content such as syllabi and lesson planning. Beyond structural considerations, AI can assist with brainstorming lecture, project and assignment materials. Optimally, AI can enhance your vision for the course without replacing it. Some examples we will look at in this session:

• Using AI to create a syllabus
• Using AI to create a lesson plan
• Using AI to create a rubric (note that a rubric cannot be imported into the Canvas rubric tool; it would need to be copied/pasted in)

We can also use AI for suggestions on assignments and quiz questions. AI is, in the words of Wharton professor and AI researcher Ethan Mollick, a "co-intelligence" that feels like a collaborator but is only reflecting back what you put into it.
