Introduce Students to Boodlebox
Once you’ve built your course in BoodleBox, it’s time to introduce the platform to your students. As you prepare to integrate BoodleBox into your classroom, it’s important to effectively communicate its purpose and benefits to your students. Here’s a guide to help you through the process:
Introduce the Platform
Here is a sample script that you can use as a starting point when introducing BoodleBox to students. Feel free to adapt and personalize this script to fit your teaching style and the specific needs of your course.
We recommend following this up with a brief demonstration to help students visualize how BoodleBox will be used throughout the course.
“Today, I’d like to introduce you to BoodleBox, an innovative platform we’ll be using in our course to explore collaborative AI in education. BoodleBox provides us with access to various AI models and tools that will enhance our learning experience. Through this platform, you’ll have the opportunity to work with AI assistants, collaborate on group projects, and develop critical skills in responsible AI use. BoodleBox will allow us to engage with course materials in new ways, from generating study guides to analyzing complex topics. It also offers a secure environment for sharing your work and receiving feedback. As we use BoodleBox throughout the semester, you’ll not only learn course content but also gain valuable experience in leveraging AI technologies – a skill that will be increasingly important in your future careers. I’m excited to embark on this journey of AI-enhanced learning with you, and I encourage you to approach this new tool with curiosity and an open mind.”
