Identifying tailored delivery routes for ALs to guide the use of Generative AI as a study support tool

Issue to address

There is enormous potential for students to use GenAI as a support tool in their learning. Responsible and appropriate use of GenAI can positively impact student engagement and employability. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) - does student knowledge and perceptions of its use as a learning support tool align with academic staff approaches to embedding AI activities and tools in the curriculum?

As highlighted by the recent Global Student AI Survey, over 84% of university students are using Large Language Model (LLM) Artificial Intelligence (AI) for their study on a regular basis (Digital Education Council, 2024).

Facilitating and evaluating the use of virtual reality tutorials within the school of Life, Health and Chemical Sciences

This proposal seeks to improve student engagement and skills development (specifically, collaboration and communication skills) through the introduction and evaluation of web-based virtual reality (VR) tutorials within the School of Life, Health and Chemical Sciences (LHCS).

The AI Design Ed project

The aim of the project is to explore student views and identify appropriate and accessible applications for generative image AI tools for co-ideation in design education.

OELAssist - Enhancing the Open Engineering Lab (OEL) Student Experience

We propose the development of OELAssist, a comprehensive system designed to revolutionise the student experience within the Open Engineering Lab (OEL) by addressing challenges faced by students during experiments.

Transforming learning and assessment through didactic games in virtual calculus classroom

Didactic games can be a valuable tool that, when coupled with traditional lectures, allows the student to become immersed in the subject, creating a kinetic and energetic environment that will not only help to learn but spark interest in mathematics.

Exploring the impact of virtual reality on engagement and accessibility of tutorials for students studying S296

With many students opting to defer part way through a presentation and fewer attending live tutorials in Adobe Connect (AC), this project proposes to pilot the introduction of a series of four short (20-30 minute) tutorials using the Mozilla Hubs Virtual Reality (VR) platform on S296, Cell an
