Today marks the 68th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, cementing his status as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. We chatted with AI Elvis about his incredible legacy with the help of Blackboard and some AI-facilitated features in our music history lesson. 🎸 AI Elvis: "Why do you think my music struck a chord with so many folks?" 📚 Learner: "It felt like a break from tradition, something new and exciting. Your music resonated with people wanting change." 🎸 AI Elvis: "Thank you, thank you very much." Apologies to AI Elvis but thank you to Blackboard's new AI Conversation tool—powered by Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service. AI Conversation sets a new standard in AI literacy that you won’t find in any other LMS. And, the feature is included as standard in every license. Help students engage in conversations that challenge their thinking, expand their knowledge, and sharpen their AI literacy.
