BoodleBox and Microsoft partner to advance collaborative AI teaching and learning
BoodleBox is teaming up with Microsoft to bring collaborative, responsible AI into classrooms and campuses at scale. The platform is moving its infrastructure to Microsoft Azure to boost performance, improve data privacy, and open the door to deeper integrations with Microsoft AI and analytics-such as Search, Fabric, and Foundry.
The goal is clear: give educators transparent, multi-AI, multi-user learning environments; build faculty capability; and prepare students for AI-integrated careers-without compromising ethics, privacy, or academic standards.
What this means for your institution
With Azure's AI-ready ecosystem, BoodleBox strengthens reliability, security, and compliance while giving IT teams the control they need. The platform supports SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA, and FERPA requirements, reduces the cost of AI usage by up to 95%, and helps lower environmental impact.
For teaching and learning, BoodleBox creates a transparent space where educators can see, guide, and assess how students collaborate with AI-so AI supports pedagogy, not the other way around.
Collaboration highlights
- Expand access across education: Through Microsoft's education channels, institutions can adopt multi-AI, multi-user learning environments that prioritize outcomes, academic integrity, and instructor oversight.
- Co-develop practical tools: BoodleBox and Microsoft will build AI-powered coaching and assignment workflows that strengthen AI literacy and make collaboration between students, faculty, and AI models visible and accountable.
