What are some limitations of this feature

This feature is not available for the assessment reports and grading at the moment.

How is your data being used?

The content of a discussion — the page or post, existing comments, and who's participating — will be sent to OpenLearning deployments of AI models on Microsoft Azure so it can suggest comments to help facilitate the conversation.

• Your data is processed only to generate the suggestions — it is not used to train Azure's or any third party's models.
• This applies to all page and post discussions.
• Suggested comments are a starting point — facilitators choose whether to post, edit, or discard them.
