Khanmigo Teacher Tools reflects a new partnership between Khan Academy and Canvas. The Teacher Tools provide assistance for faculty in lesson planning and other time-consuming tasks using Khan Academy's AI tool, Khanmigo.
The Khanmigo Teacher Tools are now active for teachers to use within Canvas. See the section below about enabling Khanmigo for your course.
While the tools will help instructors create content for their courses, please note that nothing will automatically be added to your course when you use Khanmigo. For the most part, anything that Khanmigo helps create (like discussion ideas using their Discussion Prompts tool) will have to be copied and then pasted into the respective Canvas tool (Discussions, for the example above) to share with students. For assistance with this, reach out to Blake Ide.
All faculty are reminded that it is their responsibility to ensure they comply with FERPA in all matters, especially when using online tools (including AI). If you have any questions about FERPA compliance, please reach out to Marian University's FERPA resource Jennifer Schwartz.
Faculty should also be thorough in reviewing any content created by AI. It may not always be accurate or equitable in what it creates. It is the instructor's responsibility that AI-created content is being used appropriately within their course.
It is important for instructors to understand what AI is and what it is not. Especially when using tools like Khanmigo. Please review the two short videos below for the basics on AI and how Khan Academy is using AI in these tools.
Instructors are also invited to go through Khan Academy's Khanmigo for Educators course found here.
There are two steps to begin using Khanmigo. First, you will need to enable it in your Canvas course (if it is not already enabled). Second, you will need to log into an existing or create a new Khan Academy account.
Khanmigo Teacher Tools will have to be enabled in any course you want to use see them in. Technically, there is nothing tying what is created in Khanmigo Teacher Tools with any particular Canvas course. This means that you could use the link in one of your courses to create content for any of your courses.
Note: Enabling KTT does not enable them to be seen by students. They are enabled only for Teacher use only.
After you check out the welcome and highlights video. You can begin using Khanmigo Teacher Tools after you login with an existing or new Khan Academy account. Note: This account is not affiliated with Marian. You will need to use your own account information (username or email and password). You can sign up with your Marian email address but just know that the password will not (and should not) be the same as your Marian password.
See the videos below for summaries of the tools found in Khanmigo Teacher Tools. They are categorized as tools to help instructors Plan, Create, Differentiate, Support, and Learn.
