Abstract
On the 23rd of July 2025, Instructure, the founder of Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) announced a global partnership with OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company, to embed large language model technology into the Canvas LMS platform. This partnership is the “first-of-its kind” in the learning management system space. This integration will enable educators design learning activities and allow student to interact with AI within the Canvas environment using OpenAI enabled LLM capabilities. This paper presents a targeted review of studies from the Scopus database, exploring how AI has been used in Canvas prior to this partnership. According to [1], there is a need to investigate emerging trends in the use of AI in learning management systems as technology and education practices evolves. This study examines various emerging use cases of AI in the Canvas environment and serves the purpose of a baseline study for future research specifically exploring the evolving use of AI in the Canvas LMS.
