Abstract The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) with Learning Management Systems (LMSs) has the potential to enhance task automation and accessibility in education. However, hallucination where LLMs generate inaccurate or misleading information remains a significant challenge. This study introduces Dynamic Course Content Integration (DCCI) mechanism, which dynamically retrieves integrates course content curriculum from Canvas LMS into LLM-powered assistant, Ask ME. By employing prompt engineering structure retrieved within LLM’s context window, DCCI ensures accuracy, relevance, contextual alignment, mitigating hallucination. To evaluate DCCI’s effectiveness, ME’s usability, broader student perceptions AI education, mixed-methods approach was employed, incorporating user satisfaction ratings structured survey. Results pilot indicate high (4.614/5), students recognizing ability provide timely contextually relevant responses for both administrative course-related inquiries. Additionally, majority agreed that reduced platform-switching, improving engagement, comprehension. AI’s role reducing classroom hesitation fostering self-directed learning intellectual curiosity also highlighted. Despite these benefits positive perception tools, concerns emerged regarding over-reliance on AI, accuracy limitations, ethical issues such as plagiarism student-teacher interaction. These findings emphasize need strategic implementation, safeguards, pedagogical framework prioritizes human-AI collaboration over substitution. contributes AI-enhanced education by demonstrating how context-aware retrieval mechanisms like improve LLM reliability educational engagement while ensuring responsible integration.
