Welcome to the new educational technologies website, we have recently moved to be part of the main LJMU website.
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.
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.
The Edtech team at LJMU is currently operating with reduced capacity. We ask that staff and students bear with us during this period as we work hard to maintain support and minimise disruption.
An update on the LearnWise Canvas AI assistant pilot at LJMU. What it is, where we are, and what's happened recently as the project.
