Jisc- Artificial Intelligence
(Formerly Jisc National Centre for AI in tertiary education)
Jisc has a dedicated team which supports UK tertiary education institutions to utilise artificial intelligence (AI). The AI team aims to ensure that institutions have the skills and knowledge needed to implement AI tools effectively and responsibly, in order to better understand and meet the needs of their learners.
To meet these aims, Jisc is;
- Piloting a number of promising AI products so that we can share insights into which products add value and in what circumstances.
- Hosting events that will increase knowledge around AI and its uses in education
- Consulting with colleges and universities in order to understand how/whether AI solutions could address the most pressing problems they face
- Identifying and showcasing best practices in the use of AI in education so that institutions can learn from and be inspired by the experiences of others
The team has also established a community group where participants can exchange best practice, advance their knowledge of artificial intelligence, ask questions about the technology and its applications in education, and connect with each other to find common solutions to shared problems.

- AI Maturity Toolkit
We’ve created an AI maturity model and toolkit to help institutions assess their current AI capabilities, plan strategically, and find relevant resources. The toolkit covers five key areas including strategic adoption, supporting staff and students, maintaining academic integrity, and ensuring safe and responsible AI use.
- AI in Tertiary Education report
Our annual report where we summarise the current state of play of AI in the sector, including insights into emerging use cases and guidance on ethical considerations.
- Generative AI Primer
This primer has been our most popular resource, providing a comprehensive introduction to generative artificial intelligence technology and its implications for education.
- AI Literacy webinar series resources and streams
Our 5 part series for staff covering key aspects of AI literacy, available to download and stream, covering:
1: What is generative AI and how do we use it?
2: AI Safety
3: AI for Accessibility
4: Everyday AI Tools
5: Getting creative with AI
Training Courses
Jisc has produced two free mini-MOOCs to provide an introduction to key aspects of AI in education - these are open to all Jisc members.
An Introduction to Generative AI in Education:
