New AI-driven tool for improving student writing available to pilot in 2024/25 W2

January 17, 2025 at 2:00 pm

We are seeking participants to pilot Studiosity, a study tool that students can use to improve their writing with the help of AI.

The pilot will run in the 2024/25 W2 term, beginning roughly the end of January and concluding at the end of May 2025. During the pilot period, you can request Studiosity student accounts for yourself or for TAs and students in your courses.

Please note that this pilot offers only a limited trial with Studiosity. We cannot commit to the tool being integrated, supported, or funded after the pilot ends.

How does Studiosity work?

When a student uploads a file of written work to Studiosity, the tool uses AI to provide automated feedback on aspects like grammar, spelling, structure, and references in the work.

Studiosity does not make any direct edits to the writing; rather, it prompts students to focus on specific areas for improvement, with explanations and examples provided for guidance. Students can also upload multiple revisions to use the tool in an iterative way.

Studiosity is a supplementary, student-facing tool, so you still need to assign and collect student writing through another tool (e.g., Canvas). You will also be unable to monitor student use of Studiosity, although the LT Hub can look at usage data for your course upon request.

Anyone with a Studiosity student account will also be able to use it throughout the term for any written work, not only work related to a specific course.

How can I participate in the Studiosity pilot?

To get started with Studiosity at any time during W2, contact us at the LT Hub.

If you would like students to participate in the pilot, we will send you a link to a privacy statement and sign-up form for them to use.

Whether it is you or your students who will be trying Studiosity, we will also expect and appreciate your help in gathering feedback on the pilot at the end of term.
