How the ‘Understanding students’ use of Artificial Intelligence’ report will help you:
- Build an evidence base to understand students’ use of Artificial Intelligence when studying including how they are using it and what they are trying to achieve.
- Identify opportunities for new training programmes or initiatives that could better support students in their ethical and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence.
- Understand student views on their University’s approach to using Artificial Intelligence and levels of trust about seeking support.
- More effectively target messaging and communications about use of Artificial Intelligence to students
More about the ‘Understanding students’ use of Artificial Intelligence‘ project
What skills support do students need to help them use Artificial Intelligence ethically and responsibly in their studies and beyond?
The way in which students learn is changing rapidly with the phenomenal growth of Artificial Intelligence and its unprecedented impact on education.
A deeper understanding of the skills, experiences and behaviours of today’s students will enable universities provide support and services to help their students use Artificial Intelligence ethically and responsibly in their academic studies and future careers.
Fresh, national evidence was captured through a survey of 1,000 current undergraduate and postgraduate students, followed by an online academic diaries qualitative methodology which 30 students completed, exploring use of Artificial Intelligence in more depth.
The smart, succinct, highly visual report has an Executive Summary, identifies key trends, includes demographic insights and makes strategic and practical recommendations for supporting students with use of Artificial Intelligence.
Report contents include:
- How students are using AI currently, what tools are they using and how frequently
- What students are aiming to achieve through their use of AI and what is motivating them
- To what extent students think it is acceptable to use AI, when do they think it’s appropriate and when might it become an issue
- What students understand about their university’s policies around using AI and the communications and messaging they have seen
- What students think about skills support, training and advice they might access through their university on AI, what support they want and their levels of trust to ask for that support
