Canvas: New AI-based tools for Instructors

Instructors have access to 2 new AI-based tools in their Carmen courses. 

Once enabled as a feature option, the Discussion Summary option allows an instructor to request a summary of a particular discussion thread. Instructors may also ask specific questions about the thread's content. Currently, there is a limit of 25 summary generations per user per day. This feature is only visible to the instructor role.

The Smart Search feature can be enabled as a feature option. Smart Search provides a page where users can enter keywords that return pages in the course that are directly or indirectly relevant. Instructors can then make Smart Search available to the entire course or leave it in the "hidden" area of the course navigation to limit access to instructional staff.
