BoodleBox Pilot Spring 2026

🚀 Faculty Pilot Opportunity: Explore AI in Teaching with Boodle Box (Spring 2026)

The Teaching, Learning, and Technology Roundtable (TLTR) is excited to announce a pilot program for BoodleBox, an enterprise-level, multi-Large Language Model (LLM) tool, designed to support faculty in integrating Generative AI into their teaching and learning practice. We are seeking interested faculty to join us in exploring the curricular and pedagogical potential of this tool, with the potential to propose a limited student pilot in the Spring 2026 semester. 

We have secured 200 faculty licenses for the Spring 2026 semester. Licenses will be issued beginning 12/19/2025 and are valid through May 31, 2026. Pilot participants will be notified by email.

Licenses will be issued on a first come, first served basis once minimum criteria are met.
