We started this meeting with a discussion about copilot 365, which we are currently piloting. We wanted to use it to create the meeting summary and notes for the session, and have published a separate blog to share how effective this was. Then moving into our standard lean coffee format, using Padlet this time. Discussion […]
I’m starting this blog with an admission: this is my favourite feature so far of Copilot365. For some reason, and even I don’t understand why, I have a real passion for making a page of my notepad last as long as possible and writing minimal notes, in random places on the current page. The current […]
This month’s AI in FE community sessions were all about sharing approaches to generative AI use in FE. Coleg Sir Gar’s Generative AI Journey For the first part of the sessions, we were joined by Bryony Evett, from Coleg Sir Gar, who shared their institution’s evolving journey with generative AI. They have developed their approach […]
I recently attended the Microsoft 365 Copilot ‘Prompt-a-thon’ roundtable, an event that provided insight into the potential of Copilot 365 within the public sector at their office in London. A few of us on the team have licenses for Copilot 365 and have been giving it a go in our day-to-day work (read Michael’s thoughts […]

To help, we have put together a series of 5 webinars to explore Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in education. We understand that the last few weeks of the term can offer a bit of breathing space […]
Our team love AI meeting note-taking tools! We have access to them via Microsoft Copilot for 365, and it’s probably our favourite and most useful feature – it does a fantastic job of summarising key points and actions. We’re increasingly seeing AI services such as Otter and Firefly added to meetings, and understandably this is […]
Google’s Generative AI work has perhaps tended to slip a little under the radar, at least in discussions I’ve been involved in, which have tended to focus on ChatGPT and Copilot. They have just put out a lot of new info though, including, for me, probably the most interesting paper on LLMs in education for […]
At the start of May, we held our first Artificial Intelligence drop-in clinic. The session lasted for an hour and focused on providing a space to ask questions about AI in education. The drop-in clinics will run each month and complement our AI literacy series of monthly webinars. The idea is that you can simply […]
