AI

Run LLMs like Mistral or Llama2 locally and offline on your computer, or connect to remote AI APIs like OpenAI’s GPT-4 or Groq.

Algorithms and humans both contribute to bias in AI, but AI may also hold the power to correct or reverse inequities among humans.

In this informative guide we discuss how a student can use AI in an ethical, fair, and lawful manner to assist with learning and studying.

Practical strategies for leveraging AI’s strengths & avoiding its weaknesses

There’s something of a paradox that has defined my experience with artificial intelligence in this particular moment. It’s clear we’re witnessing the advent of a wildly powerful technology, one that could transform the economy and the way we think about art and creativity and the value of human work itself. At the same time, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to use it in my own day-to-day job. So I wanted to understand what I’m missing and get some tips for how I could incorporate A.I. better into my life right now. And Ethan Mollick is the perfect guide: He’s a professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania who’s spent countless hours experimenting with different chatbots, noting his insights in his newsletter One Useful Thing and in a new book, “Co-Intelligence: Living and Working With A.I.” This conversation covers the basics, including which chatbot to choose and techniques for how to get the most useful results. But the conversation goes far beyond that, too — to some of the…

Introduction During the 2024 Winter Quarter, the Center for Educational Effectiveness surveyed all undergraduate students (N= ~31,000) about their perceptions, uses, and future value of Generative AI (GenAI). Approximately 4% (N=1361) responded. No identifiable information was collected, and all respondents were advised that their responses would be completely anonymous.

Accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence across the tertiary education sector.

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 […]

On Tuesday 27th February, we had our third community meeting. We had a great group who joined us for an insightful discussion around how to provide learners with guidance around AI. The first half of our session was led by AI Technologist, James Hodgkinson, who began with a poll, asking whether their institutions had produced […]

We've had lots of interest in the best way to provide advice to students in colleges.  In this blog post we’ve created an example of learner advice.

AI is of course much more than just generative AI, and a full discussion around AI literacy would need to cover more traditional AI uses too, for example predictive models, adaptive learning, image recognition, recommendation engines and many other tools and techniques.  Generative AI is the hot topic now though, so the groups discussion focused […]

How can AI support students’ writing processes without taking the place of writing or thinking? I have been a volunteer advisor on an app developed by teachers, MyEssayFeedback.ai. I wanted to share a little about why this approach makes sense to me as. way to support both AI literacy and students’ development of their own words and ideas.
