Description

Jedidiah Rex, Director of Instructional Technology at Lawrence (congratulations on Jedidiah's promotion since the recording), joins the show to talk through what AI actually looks like inside Canvas right now — from accessibility tools to discussion summaries to the agentic course tutors on the horizon. The conversation moves from the practical (which tools are worth turning on) to the bigger question underneath: how do we use AI to create more room for human connection, not less.
