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, […]

The release of ChatGPT coincided with an environment of rising anxiety around academic integrity brought about by the move to online assessment post COVID. This, at least, was the experience of my colleagues and I in the Digital Assessment Advisory at UCL and seemed to reflect concerns elsewhere. The result was, and remains, a demand […]

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 […]

Graide Pilot Overview
About the AI team’s programme of pilots The AI team at Jisc aims to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. One of the ways the team is achieving this is by leading a series of pilots, allowing Jisc members to gain direct experience of implementing AI, whilst enabling the AI team to […]
Co-authored by Marieke Guy, Head of digital assessment, UCL and Chris Thomson, Jisc. As generative AI embeds itself into the world, understanding students’ perspective on what it means for their learning and assessment is more important than ever. We live in fast moving and concerning times. The leaders at our HE institutions have found themselves […]
Academic misconduct seems to have been brought into sharp relief over the last few months with a huge amount of hyperbole around large language models, or “generative AI”. Probably the most talked about was the arrival of ChatGPT3 just before Christmas 2022, social channels quickly lit up with discussions about how it will disrupt education, […]
We are seeing the first guidance to students on the use of ChatGPT and AI tools in assessment starting to emerge. Getting terminology correct on this is a little challenging, so we are going to explore this. Much of the guidance is, for the time being at least, telling students not to use AI in […]
In our webinar before Christmas, we suggested that “A war between AI plagiarism detection software and generative AI won’t help anyone“ We want to share a quick example that shows why this might be the case. For this experiment, we are using GPTZeroX, which has recently been updated. Our aim isn’t to call out a […]
Last week we hosted a webinar looking at how artificial intelligence has the potential to disrupt student assessment. In this post we reflect on the event and share some of the ideas generated and questions asked. The topic certainly seems to be of wide interested, with over 130 attendees. We started with a quick poll […]
