Problem

Notre Dame needed evidence about appropriate generative AI use in coursework. Faculty had concerns about intellectual property, while students needed clearer boundaries for permitted use.

Approach

Notre Dame partnered with Praxis AI on a year-long pilot. Praxis Pria was embedded directly in Canvas courses, allowing the university to examine actual usage patterns. The pilot involved faculty and students across multiple courses.

Results

1,537students involved in the year-long pilot, according to Praxis AIVendor case study[1]

57courses in the pilot, according to Praxis AIVendor case study[1]

44faculty members engaged in the pilot, according to Praxis AIVendor case study[1]

over 15,000student prompts generated during the pilot, according to Praxis AIVendor case study[1]

Takeaway

Participation and prompt counts established use in courses. Praxis did not quantify a causal improvement in academic performance.
