In 2025, Jisc launched the AI in Marking and Feedback Pilot, a year-long initiative bringing together colleges and universities to explore whether AI can meaningfully reduce marking and feedback workload in a way that is acceptable to key stakeholders.
The project spans two strands — tools designed specifically for educational purposes (these were Graide, Keath and TeacherMatic), and general-purpose AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot), where the project focuses on custom assistants.
Across the initial months of the pilot, insights have been collected via regular community sessions, feedback forms and one-to-one interactions. As common themes have started to appear, we’d like to share insights with the wider Jisc membership, allowing learnings to translate to direct value for the sector.
As such, we’re publishing this series of blogs – linked below – which we hope will give you a useful window into what the pilot has revealed about the role of AI within marking and feedback.
