Course Prep with BoodleBox

If you’re looking for high-impact, low-lift ways to use generative AI to support your teaching, BoodleBox offers several secure options.

What is BoodleBox?

BoodleBox is a collaborative AI platform built specifically for higher education. Through a single, secure login using your Furman email address, you’ll have access to leading AI models—including GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity—in one environment. Unlike free consumer tools, BoodleBox was developed in partnership with academic institutions and is designed with the values of teaching and learning in mind.

Importantly, BoodleBox is designed with sustainability in mind, using token-efficiency technology to significantly reduce the energy consumption — and carbon footprint — of every AI interaction on the platform. Read more about how they do this here.

BoodleBox and Academic Integrity

BoodleBox the academic integrity principles related to the use of AI that Furman has been developing. To reinforce this, the AI Strategy Task Force subcommittee on AI in Academic and Institutional Enhancement, led by Dr. Lori Alvin, has updated the AI Syllabus Policy Categories and developed a new menu of Assignment-Level AI Policies, both of which are available at the AI @ Furman website (furman.edu/ai). Students are being clearly informed that access to BoodleBox is not blanket permission to use it—they must follow the AI use policies stated in each individual course.
