教育科技平台Canvas的母公司Instructure宣布与OpenAI达成新合作，将OpenAI的技术融入Canvas平台，为用户带来更多AI驱动的教育体验。此次合作旨在通过AI技术自动化教师的常规任务，并为学生提供更个性化、适应性强的学习路径。新功能包括AI驱动的个性化反馈、评估数据分析，以及一个名为“LLM赋能作业”的新工具，允许教师创建定制化的课堂聊天机器人，指导学生与AI工具互动和提问，并利用AI洞察来评估学生作业。此外，Anthropic的Claude聊天机器人也将集成到Canvas中，学生可以在平台内直接使用。此次合作标志着AI在教育领域的广泛应用，旨在提升学习体验和学生成果，并推广教师AI培训。

🎨 Canvas平台将深度集成OpenAI技术，为教育领域带来AI驱动的创新功能。此次合作旨在提升教学效率和学生学习体验，通过AI自动化教师的重复性工作，如评分和备课，使教师能够更专注于教学本身。同时，AI也将为学生提供更个性化、适应性强的学习旅程，增强学习的互动性和有效性。

🤖 新推出的“LLM赋能作业”功能允许教师创建定制化的课堂聊天机器人，学生可以与这些机器人互动，获取学习目标，并进行提问。这一功能不仅能帮助学生学习如何负责任地使用AI工具，还能在教学框架内培养学生的批判性思维和高阶技能。教师还可以利用AI的反馈来更准确地评估学生提交的作业。

🤝 除了与OpenAI的合作，Canvas还整合了Anthropic的Claude聊天机器人，使得学生在进行课程作业时可以直接在Canvas平台内使用Claude。这意味着学生可以同时利用不同AI工具的优势，丰富他们的学习资源和方式。这种多方合作也反映了AI巨头们对教育应用领域的重视和投入。

🚀 Instructure CEO Steve Daly强调，此次与OpenAI的合作是其“未来就绪生态系统”愿景的重要一步，旨在促进教育各个阶段的有意义学习和成就。他认为这是教育界的一项重大进展，将持续提升学习体验和改善学生成绩。公司还计划与美国教师联合会（AFT）合作，为全国教育工作者提供免费的AI培训，以推广AI在教育中的应用。

Thousands of educational institutions that use popular ed-tech platform Canvas to assign coursework, score tests, and design lesson plans will soon receive even more AI features in coming months.

Part of a series of industry-wide collaborations, the platform's parent company, Instructure, has signed on to a new partnership with OpenAI, an initiative that will see the learning software leverage OpenAI's tech to build out more AI experiences for users.

Teachers, for example, will gain access to AI-powered personalization, feedback, and assessment data, the companies explain. "Routine and low-value tasks," will be automated, and students will experience more "personalized, adaptable learning journeys" with additional assignment and evaluation interactions with its AI.

Canvas' first collaboratively designed AI tool is a new "LLM-Enabled Assignment" feature, an additional assignment option for teachers that lets them create a classroom chatbot experience for students, customizing how students interact with, receive learning objectives from, and prompt the GPT-like tool. Teachers can then use insights from the LLM to evaluate student submissions. "This feature provides a meaningful way to teach students how to use these tools responsibly and effectively, all within a high-quality pedagogical framework that encourages critical thinking and supports higher-order skills," said Shiren Vijiasingam, chief product officer at Instructure.

Anthropic, makers of chatbot Claude, announced an integration with Canvas' Learning Tools Interoperability in June, which lets students use Claude directly in the Canvas platform while doing coursework — users will still be able to enable Claude (and other integrated tools) alongside the OpenAI partnership. Across the board, AI's biggest players have chosen to invest heavily in the technology's educational applications, including teacher tools, student skill building, and a free, nationwide training program for educators in partnership with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).

“This collaboration with OpenAI showcases our ambitious vision: creating a future-ready ecosystem that fosters meaningful learning and achievement at every stage of education" wrote Instructure CEO Steve Daly. "This is a significant step forward for the education community as we continuously amplify the learning experience and improve student outcomes."
