Instructure has launched Intelligent Insights, an AI-powered self-service analytics product that offers data-driven insights to improve course effectiveness, LTI usage, and student success. The product integrates with Canvas LMS and allows users to customize criteria, evaluate course readiness, understand LTI usage, and generate impactful insights within minutes. It expedites historically manual tasks securely and effectively, enabling administrators to alert educators when students fall below a certain threshold, monitor LTI app usage, and ensure all courses meet standards and requirements.
Automating reporting and monitoring gives educators more time to build relationships with each student, facilitating a personalized learning experience. In a 2023 study, 92% of faculty rated “adequate prep time” as crucial instructional support for teaching. In addition, 76% of faculty stated technology and tools, such as AI and analytics tools, are essential to the overall impact of their education. Intelligent Insights provides innovative real-time solutions to address the evolving needs of educators and administrators by making it possible to implement best practices that were previously too expensive, challenging, and time-consuming.
