Liverpool John Moores University is working on a major project to make its online learning platform simpler and more consistent for everyone, especially students who learn differently.
LJMU is testing LearnWise, a new AI chatbot in Canvas that answers student questions 24/7. Starting with course information like deadlines and exam dates, it will later offer study tools like quizzes and flashcards. Staff choose whether to use it in their courses.
Liverpool John Moores University is reminding all teaching staff to follow important rules when setting up Turnitin, the university's tool that checks student work for copying.
Liverpool John Moores University is changing its online portfolio system. Students and staff who use portfolios need to save their work and move to a new system by June 2026.
The Teaching and Learning Academy is asking teaching staff what they think about Ally, a computer program that helps make online learning materials accessible for all students.
Andy Shackleton has partnered with the School of Nursing to pilot a smarter way of organising large student cohorts in Canvas, using a combination of Groups and Sections to deliver targeted activities and content to different teams. Early feedback from the Nursing Simulated Practice team has been very positive, with the approach credited with helping a current placement run significantly more smoothly. The pilot is part of a wider project to find scalable Canvas solutions for larger cohorts.
