One of first outputs our AI team produced, first released in March 2021, was our ‘AI in education maturity model’ – a tool to frame conversations about institutions journey on adopting AI.

Artificial intelligence is already transforming education, the workplace, and society. These principles have been created by Jisc in partnership with the Association of Colleges (AoC) Technology Reference Group. They are intended for colleges to adopt as a statement of intent, guiding strategic direction. They aim to help colleges navigate challenges and maximising the opportunities […]

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 […]
There has been much discussion of the role of AI writing detectors. The issue has become more urgent for us with Turnitin announcing the imminent release of an AI detector. At the moment we’ve very little information about the Turnitin offering, other than the detail in the press release, where it claims 97% accuracy […]
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 […]
