Creator+ empowers Instructors to create formative and interactive learning activities to let learners test their comprehension and get immediate feedback on their understanding of a topic outside of a formal assessment. By using D2L Lumi as part of this process, Instructors can leverage generative AI to help build practice questions based on existing course content. This guide applies to Instructors, Designers, TAs, and any other users that have the ability to create and edit pages in the Content section of a Brightspace course.
If you鈥檙e new to Creator+, you can read more about the toolset from our Creator+ launch in 2024.
Important note: Lumi is a generative AI product. As such, users should always review output for accuracy before inserting it into a course. D2L has built Lumi so that it only references information from content in your course or that you provide it, so it will not access the internet or any prior training data to generate content. Having said that, Instructors and other course builders are responsible for any information added to a course, so always review output from Lumi before adding it to a course.
