Brisk is an AI extension in Chrome that enables you to augment existing materials without leaving your tab.

How do I access Brisk?

Brisk is an extension that is built into Google Chrome. You will not find it in Classlink because it is not an app or website- it is an extension.

Find it by looking for a B icon in the bottom right corner of your screen.

Don't see the B icon? Click on the extension icon in your navigation bar and click on Brisk to make the B appear.

Still don't see it? Click on your name in the upper right corner, make sure it sure it shows your SVSD account and make sure the sync is on.

Student Activities (Brisk Boost)

Brisk Boost

Use Brisk Boost to create an AI chat activity with students. You can create activities based on youtube videos, documents, slides, and more!

Brisk Boost Writing Coach

With Brisk Boost Writing Coach, students can interact with a chat bot while they write on a document. The bot can read while they write, and the students can ask the bot questions. The best part? The bot doesn't tell them what to write, or give examples they can copy/paste. Instead it ask questions and/or gives suggestions.

Writing Coach Tip

When you create a Writing Coach Assignment, make sure to Create a Class and Require Email Login. Choose these steps in order to keep track of students, and to give them access to the same document over the course of more than one day.

Once your assignment is ready, click the Share button and choose Share Activity With Students.
Click on Add a Class.
Create a Class, or choose one you've already made.
Choose "Email Login Required"
Click Share, then post the link given in Schoology for students to access.

Need access to an activity? Open Brisk, then click on the red backpack to see all your activities and student work.

Tips & Tricks

If you are trying to Brisk a PDF and get this message: "File is too short" then try these work arounds.

Take a screenshot of a key page and upload it as an image into Brisk. You can only do one page at a time.
Upload to Google Drive and select "Open with Google Docs." The document won't look very attractive in that format, but it will take the content from the document. You can use this google doc to generate material with Brisk.
Try exporting your PDF to save as a png file and then use the image button instead of pdf.
