What is Alethea?
Alethea is an "AI-powered academic coach" that guides students through scholarly reading to increase their understanding of and engagement with reading materials. Instructors add their assigned readings to the Alethea platform and the tool supports impactful reading assignments through:
- Chat-based interaction: The AI chat coach uses smart pedagogical approaches to push students to "think deeper and work smarter."
- Instructor Assistance: Effective questions on the supplied readings are generated for instructors.
- Reading assignments: Assignments will be centered around the readings to lead to more engaged class discussions
Alethea is available for FGCU faculty to use in their courses and there is an LTI available to embed Alethea AI supported reading assignments right inside of Canvas. See the help pages for instructors and students here in this guide to learn more about how faculty and students can use Alethea.
