The AI subsystem is designed to integrate AI functionality into teaching and learning activities. It offers a user-friendly interface and back-end integration with multiple AI providers. Users with appropriate capabilities can benefit from functionality such as generating text and images via the text editor, summarising and explaining course content.
The subsystem is structured around placements, actions and providers.
AI placements define how and where AI actions can be used in your site. You can choose which actions are available in each placement through the settings. For more information, see AI placements.
Actions are the specific things a user can do with the AI. What actions are available for a user depend on what has been configured and the LMS context the user is in and the user’s roles and capabilities. For example, when creating course content a teacher could access an action to create an image, or for students they could use an action to summarise complex text.
AI providers add AI functionality to your site by allowing Moodle LMS to communicate with external services, such as OpenAI, Azure AI and Ollama. You can manage the actions and configurations for each provider within their respective settings. For more information, see AI providers.
The AI subsystem adheres to Moodle’s AI Principles.
All administration settings for the AI subsystem can be accessed via Site administration > General > AI.
