We are excited to invite you to test-drive Ignite AI, Instructure’s new suite of native AI tools integrated directly into Canvas.
While standard Ignite AI features focus on specific tasks (like "click a button to summarize this thread"), the Ignite AI Agent is a more sophisticated, "premium" evolution of the platform. Think of it as a conversational co-pilot rather than just a set of static tools.
To facilitate this, you will be granted access to a secure, private Canvas sandbox environment where you can experiment with these features firsthand.
Current & Early Access Features:
-
Efficiency Tools: Generate rubrics instantly, get help authoring assessment items, and review video captions for accuracy.
-
Communication Enhancements: Summarize long discussion threads, translate Inbox messages, and translate discussion posts.
-
Enhanced Discovery: Use "Smart Search" with advanced filters and gain deeper insights into student participation via Discussion Analytics.
-
Advanced AI: Access the Ignite Agent (an upcoming premium add-on).
Next Steps: Once registered, your confirmation email will include a link to request an Ignite AI Sandbox.
