Jisc’s national centre for AI launches pilot of TeacherMatic to cut staff workload and allow teachers to prioritise education over admin.
Jisc is helping UK FE colleges explore how artificial intelligence can reduce workload for staff with TeacherMatic, an AI-based tool specifically designed to make teachers’ lives easier.
Supported by Jisc’s national centre for AI in tertiary education, teachers at eight colleges will explore how TeacherMatic, which uses AI to carry out routine tasks like lesson planning and resource creation, can help to free up teachers’ time, allowing them to prioritise education over admin and helping them to be more effective in the classroom.
Sue Attewell, Jisc’s head of AI and codesign said:
“This project with TeacherMatic is part of Jisc’s work to increase the skills, understanding and readiness of FE colleges for a digitised future. The pilot will enable all participants to find out more about the positive impacts of using AI. At the same time, implementing TeacherMatic will help staff increase their confidence and skills in using the AI tools they need to succeed.”
