Socrates is a great resource that can point you to Blackboard documentation, direct you to how-to guides from our Knowledge Base, and help you get answers quickly. Socrates’ self-learning AI enables him to recognize patterns, learn from interactions, and become more intelligent over time, so the more you interact with Socrates, the better he gets!
