AI Nutrition Facts is a transparency framework for Instructure products that provides a clear, standardized look at the capabilities, data practices, and limitations of our AI tools.
A few months ago, I was talking with a university provost who said something that stuck with me - “We’ve had more conversations about AI in the last year than we’ve had about online learning in the last decade. And I’m not sure we’re any closer to knowing what to actually do about it.” That tension is real. There’s no…

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about the gap between talking about AI in our classrooms and actually giving students hands-on experience with it. We're all navigating this shift where AI is everywhere, but many students still don't understand how these tools actually work. They use ChatGPT for homework help, but they…
I have been experimenting with NotebookLM for some professional and hobby interests and have discovered incredible insights from querying sources with the Gemini chatbox interface. For our ID work in Canvas, we need an AI-powered dashboard similar to NotebookLM where IDs and Directors can query about their assigned courses…
Biomembranes are not passive barriers. They are dynamic, information-rich interfaces where life senses, decides, and responds.
