Intelligent Insights is a thoughtfully designed AI and self-service analytics product offering data-driven insights to improve course effectiveness, LTI usage and student success.
Instructure, the leading learning technology ecosystem and creator of Canvas LMS, has launched Intelligent Insights, a groundbreaking product powered by AI and analytics that offers unprecedented self-service reporting capabilities for educational institutions. Once activated, Intelligent Insights integrates seamlessly with Canvas and is accessible through the new Analytics Hub. This tool allows users to customize both leading and lagging criteria to identify students who may need additional support, assess course readiness, analyze LTI usage, and generate impactful insight reports quickly with the “Ask Your Data” conversational AI feature.
Intelligent Insights streamlines teaching and learning outcomes by automating traditionally manual tasks in a secure and efficient manner. Its user-friendly dashboards support ad-hoc and custom reporting, enabling administrators to notify educators when students fall below certain performance thresholds, monitor LTI app usage institution-wide, and ensure all courses meet established standards and requirements.
By automating reporting and monitoring, Intelligent Insights allows educators to focus more on building personal relationships with their students, enhancing the learning experience. A 2023 study revealed that 92% of faculty consider “adequate prep time” crucial for effective teaching, and 76% believe that technology and tools, including AI and analytics, significantly impact their teaching effectiveness. Intelligent Insights offers innovative, real-time solutions that meet the evolving needs of educators and administrators, enabling the adoption of best practices that were previously too costly, complex, or time-consuming.
Key features of Intelligent Insights include:
- Ask Your Data uses intuitive, conversational AI to simplify querying data with a natural language interface that makes complex data analysis accessible to all, regardless of technical expertise;
- Students in Need of Attention enables proactive monitoring of institution-defined leading and lagging indicators, giving better visibility of students in need of additional support;
- Course Readiness assesses the preparedness of courses and ensures consistent, high-quality educational delivery;
- LTI Usage Reporting offers comprehensive insights into third-party tool utilization for better resource management.
