How can you integrate ChatGPT to our courses on Canvas?

I suspect your institution would need to subscribe to the ChatGPT API. There's a subscription fee for that, but it's not unreasonable. I think most folks using ChatGPT are using API 4.0, but ChatGPT just released 4o as well, which I think might be slightly better.

Alternatively, there are lots of LTI tools out there that are leveraging ChatGPT. By integrating those tools into Canvas, you'd get ChatGPT through those tools. The company I work for, Harmonize Learning, integrates with ChatGPT to build assignment and discussions activities, build rubrics to accompany those assignments, and uses AI to coach students against the rubrics, but there are dozens of LTI tools that do different things with ChatGPT.

The quickest way is to simply integrate a link for it directly into the course space navigation.  Do the following:

1. Log into the Canvas Space you would like to give students access to Chat GPT.
2. Navigate to Settings > Apps > and search for "Redirect Tool".  Note: if this isn't stalled, you will have to request this from your Canvas Administrator.
3. Select the Redirect Tool and then select "Add App"
4. Under "Name", put what you would like the displayed title to show, e.g. "Chat GPT"
5. Under the URL Redirect, enter "url=https://chat.openai.com/"
6. Enable "Show in Course Navigation"
7. Optionally, enable "Force open in new tab" depending on what behavior you prefer.  I like to check this.
8. Select "Add App".
9. Navigate to Settings>Navigation
10. Note: Keep in mind it might take a few minutes for your new item to show up.  You can hard-refresh the screen or clear the cache.  Be patient.
11. You should eventually see your item on the list towards the bottom of the Navigation area.  Just drag it up to where you want to see it, and you're done!

Students will need a free subscription to ChatGPT.  This essentially just places the webpage directly into the Canvas space.

I would also recommend checking out Google's new NotebookLM!
