New Canvas AI Features Now Available

Canvas @ Yale

We are pleased to announce that we have enabled 3 native Canvas AI features after review and approval by Yale’s Data Governance Committee. These features are controlled on a course-by-course basis by the instructor and are turned off by default for all courses. 

The AI features are:

  • IgniteAI Search - a search tool within a Canvas course site to make finding course materials easier
  • Discussion Summaries - a tool that allows instructors to generate a discussion summary of highlights, key questions, and more
  • Discussion / Announcement Translations - a function that allows a user to translate the text of a course discussion or announcement into one of the supported languages

For more information about these now available AI Features, please explore our new Canvas @ Yale AI Features section in our help documentation, or email us at askpoorvucenter@yale.edu
