Last year, Jisc launched a pilot to explore how AI could help reduce workload around marking and feedback. That work continues this year, with KEATH, Graide, and TeacherMatic being piloted across more than 30 participating colleges and universities. We’re now launching a new strand of the pilot — one that will see participants using […]

This academic year, a key focus for Jisc’s AI team is understanding AI’s potential to support marking and feedback. We’re currently running three parallel pilots of AI solutions (Keath, Graide and TeacherMatic). And we will soon be launching a project in which we’ll be evaluating the impact that general-purpose AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT and […]

Since Jisc piloted LearnWise in 2023, adoption among colleges and universities has grown rapidly. With so many institutions now using the platform, there is a clear appetite for a space where practitioners can collaborate, share solutions, and build best practice together. To support this need, we’re launching the LearnWise Community of Practice – […]
How to get the best out of AI isn’t just a technical question, it’s a values-based one. We’ve already seen examples of algorithms that unintentionally reinforce bias, erode trust, or remove human judgement from critical decisions. At the same time, we’ve also seen how AI can open doors to new learning opportunities, reduce teacher […]
1. Introduction Chatbots are not new. Many colleges and universities have experienced them over the past decade, often with mixed results. But while the use cases have broadly remained the same — providing instant, automated responses to common queries — the technology powering today’s chatbots is fundamentally different from that of earlier systems. This guide […]
1.Introduction AI-powered chatbots (also referred to as AI assistants) can serve both students and staff by answering routine questions 24/7, reducing repetitive workloads, and streamlining support processes across an institution. They can be configured to provide information on a wide range of topics, including IT support, admissions queries, course information, library resources, and they […]
When I started collaborating with Dr. Rebecca Feasey and Eu Jin See to record an episode of Jisc’s Beyond the Technology podcast, I expected a good discussion about Adobe Firefly and its role in creative education. What I didn’t expect was a conversation that would shift how I think about creativity—and how AI might […]
In my previous post on the topic of AI and inclusion I highlighted Hull College’s use of Microsoft Translate as a standout example of socially beneficial AI. Without such innovations, the educational progress of displaced students coming to the UK would have to wait until their command of English caught up. With AI, this […]
As colleges and universities progress along their AI journeys, one area showing real promise is the use of general-purpose AI tools — like ChatGPT and Gemini — to support assessment, especially marking and feedback. Therefore, as part of a wider initiative exploring how AI can reduce workload around marking and feedback, we’re launching a […]
