APPENDICES
Tools, setup, and the working vocabulary for this course.
Setting Up Your AI Toolkit
Sign in to BoodleBox with your Concordia account — plus the free public fallbacks, a prompt-library notes doc, and an optional private local model — no admin rights or paid plan required
The whole setup, on the platform Concordia already licenses: sign in to BoodleBox at box.boodle.ai with your EDU account, meet the @ bot picker and the two-minute verify prompt, set up a notes doc for your prompt library, learn which lab needs which tool, and — optionally — run a private local model with LM Studio or Ollama for the Week-11 privacy lab. Free public assistants are the documented fallback.
The AI Tool Directory
A categorized reference — general assistants, image, video, audio & voice, music, document, slides, meeting, translation, research, coding, and agent tools
What each category of AI tool is best at (starting with what BoodleBox already covers), the leading options as of mid-2026, and where free tiers end and paid plans begin — the reference behind choosing the right tool in Weeks 5, 9, 10, and 13.
Responsible and Ethical AI Use
What may never be pasted into public AI, PII/HIPAA/FERPA, copyright, consent and disclosure, and how to cite AI
The rules a professional lives by: the data you must never share with a public model, the laws that govern confidential information, how to handle voice and likeness with consent, how to disclose and cite AI, and the line you may not cross — the human owns every verdict.
