Jisc- National centre for AI in tertiary education
The National centre for AI has been established by Jisc to help UK tertiary education institutions utilise artificial intelligence (AI). The National centre 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, the National centre 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 centre 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.
Get Involved
The National centre welcomes interested staff in the tertiary education sector to get involved with their work:- Sign up to the mailing list for updates on the latest news, articles, blogs, events and podcasts.
- Join the NCAI Jiscmail to be connected with other members of the AI community and share your experiences around the uses of artificial intelligence (AI).
Pilots
The National centre conducts pilots in order to evaluate current AI tools and products and share the findings with the sector. Information on how to take part in pilots is sent out via the Jiscmail channel and added to the NCAI blog.
See below for reports and blogs on previous and ongoing pilots:
