Description
Generative AI tools provide new mechanisms for students to interact with course content. Use of publicly available tools raise concerns about data protection, intellectual property, and data privacy. This project sought to leverage Microsoft Copilot AI tools to create a custom, data protected agent using instructor created course materials. Using a low code approach, we implemented the AI tool for students in a high enrollment course. An additional focus of this project is evaluating student use and costs of maintaining these systems. The presentation will examine our approach and lessons learned in implementing and sustaining such tools.
