Description
This session showcases DeVry's groundbreaking implementation of Praxis AI's human-centered digital twin technology. Unlike traditional reactive AI assistants, DeVry's approach creates context-aware agentic professors that proactively observe student behavior, determine appropriate tactics for each situation, and autonomously engage learners through Canvas. Attendees will discover how we've unified multiple task-specific agents into a single interface wrapped with personality, creating nearly human connection through AI. We'll demonstrate how our digital twins leverage Canvas as a data-rich environment to deploy situational agentic AI—different agents for different tasks as needed—resulting in improved student engagement and learning outcomes. The presentation will reveal how this technology augments faculty capabilities similar to TAs, allowing professors to focus on high-value interactions while the AI handles personalized coaching, grading, and student support at scale.
