HE TeacherMatic Pilot Launch
In the National Centre for AI in Tertiary Education team, we’re pleased to announce the launch of a second year-long TeacherMatic pilot. We are currently piloting this with eight Further Education Colleges, and the initial feedback is very positive, particularly around saving time. We would now like to explore how well this translates to higher […]
AI has long been integral to many assistive technologies, and we have seen over the course of this year that there is considerable exploration occurring around the use of generative AI to enhance accessibility in education. In this post we look at a few of the emerging uses we’ve seen as well as discussing some […]
Publishing an intro to generative AI is a challenge as things are moving so quickly. However, we think things have now settled down enough for us to bring together information in a single place, to create a short primer. This blog post will be updated as needed, and we have also produced a version as […]
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 […]
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 […]
