The discussion around the use of generative AI tools in education is ongoing. With more institutions looking to implement these tools in classrooms and lecture theatres we wanted to investigate their user agreements. We have focused on two key questions to answer for now – whether the tool has an age requirement and whether the […]
This year, we kicked off the academic year with our attendance and stand at ALT-C hosted at the University of Warwick. We had a stand for the National centre for AI to showcase our AI demos sparking numerous intriguing debates and conversations and received some great feedback. Overall we spoke to around 88 people over […]
We’ve had a few member institutions contact us to ask for updated advice on AI detection software. This includes asking about recommendations for alternatives to Turnitin, so we thought it would be useful to produce some updated information. First, the information in our previous blog post ‘AI writing detectors – concepts and considerations’ still holds, […]

For educators, AI skills and knowledge have gone from a luxury to a necessity, seemingly overnight. To help you stay ahead of the curve, the NCAI team are developing a suite of short and concise training modules, covering a range of the most relevant topics. In this blog, we’ll introduce you to […]
Jisc’s National Centre for AI in tertiary education (NCAI) has teamed up with TeacherMatic to run a yearlong pilot to evaluate the use of the generative AI tool to create teaching and learning content. We have just wrapped up phase one, which started late May 2023, in collaboration with eight further education colleges: Basingstoke College […]
Everyday AI The integration of generative AI tools into our everyday tools is revolutionising the way we work. The advanced language processing capabilities and text generation abilities of tools such as Open AI’s GPT-4 and Google’s Bard are being seamlessly incorporated into various applications, becoming an integral part of our daily working lives. With […]
Recently, we organised five discussion forums for tertiary education students, on Generative AI. Our aim was to understand how students are currently using this technology and explore its potential impact on their learning experience. To ensure a broad range of perspectives, we conducted both online and face-to-face sessions, allowing students to engage and express their […]
