Canvas LMS AI pluginBuilt for canvas users.
The challenge
Canvas users frequently encounter 'dead-end' modules where students disengage because they lack immediate assistance when stuck on specific textbook concepts outside of instructor office hours.
How AI Professor™ helps
The plugin transforms Canvas modules into interactive learning hubs using Coach Mode to guide students through Socratic questioning rather than providing direct answers. It maps student queries against institutional curricula to create syllabus heatmaps, identifying exactly which resources requiring further reinforcement while offering 24/7 doubt clearance within the SpeedGrader ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions
How does the AI Professor plugin handle LTI 1.3 authentication within Canvas?
The plugin utilizes LTI Advantage (v1.3) protocols to ensure secure, seamless single sign-on. This allows the AI to inherit Canvas permissions, ensuring students only access AI tutoring for the specific courses and modules they are currently enrolled in.
Can the AI distinguish between different Canvas sections and their specific syllabi?
Yes, by utilizing a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) framework, the AI Professor architecture isolates data at the course ID level. It references only the specific textbooks and lecture notes uploaded to that individual Canvas shell to prevent cross-contamination of course materials.
Does integrating this plugin impact the Canvas SpeedGrader workflow?
AI Professor enhances the SpeedGrader experience by providing preliminary AI-assisted grading and feedback based on your rubrics. Instructors can review the AI-generated suggestions within the Canvas UI, significantly reducing the manual effort required for subjective assessment validation.
What happens to student data privacy and GDPR compliance within the plugin?
AI Professor operates with a commitment to data sovereignty, ensuring all student interactions within the Canvas environment are anonymized before processing. It avoids using student data to train public LLM models, maintaining strict compliance with institutional privacy standards.
