As we continue with the VLE Excellence programme, we have a variety of important projects that continue to support in enhancing both the staff and student experience within the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) Learn Optimised for In-course Submission and Assessment (LOUISA): The Learn Optimised for In-course Submission and Assessment (LOUISA) project will look to build on the existing knowledge gathered on pain points in relation to assessment and feedback within learning technology to help understand changes required to enhance and provide a more consistent student and staff experience moving forward. Learning Analytics in UltRA (LAURA): The Learning Analytics in UltRA (LAURA) project will support improving the student experience by ensuring that students, teachers, and student support staff are making best use of the data, information and dashboards that are currently available in Learn (the University's Virtual Learning Environment), and other centrally supported learning technology applications, to gain useful insights. Scoping AI Developments in EdTech at Edinburgh (SADIE): Scoping AI in EdTech at Edinburgh (SADIE) will build on the existing knowledge gathered by Learning, Teaching and Web Services (LTW) to understand the current Artificial Intelligence (AI) developments and opportunities available within EdTech at Edinburgh. These AI developments may take the form of new tools or functionality being offered by our existing vendor partners, or new products being offered to us by new vendors. With this knowledge and experience, the project team will look to create a set of recommendations in managing AI in EdTech. This article was published on 2024-10-08
