SYDNEY, Sept. 17,
2024 /CNW/ - Studiosity, a global leader in ethical
AI-for-learning technology, is awarding research grants to
universities in Kenya,
Ghana, Nepal, Pakistan, the
Philippines, and Malaysia. These grants enable the rigorous
academic evaluation of Studiosity's GenAI-powered learning support
platform, which launched in February
2024 and is already in use at 45 universities in
Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom. The grants will extend
understanding and evidence of how the technology can impact student
learning outcomes across diverse cultural and socio-economic
contexts.
A significant new move to support the work of academics and
teachers
Reaching more than 2 million students worldwide via
hundreds of universities and colleges, Studiosity's technology
represents a significant advancement in AI-based student support.
It is uniquely positioned to complement the efforts of academics
and teachers to augment rather than offload human cognitive
development to a productivity tool. This is a challenge the global
higher education sector has been struggling with, giving rise to
the educationally-appropriate phrase "AI for Learning."
Studiosity's platform is built on two decades of
experience providing ethical, student-centred formative
feedback and support that prioritises and reveals students'
understanding and skill development. By offering real-time,
personalised academic assistance, Studiosity's platform helps
educators by reinforcing classroom learning and addressing
individual student needs.
"Our commitment to supporting the work of students, academics
and teachers is at the heart of what we do," said Mike Larsen, CEO of Studiosity. "These research
grants, and the studies they support, will provide valuable
insights into how our GenAI-powered platform can be optimised to
further enhance the educational experiences of students across six
distinct geographies, learning environments and cultures."
Trials underway in new regions to assess impact on learning,
globally
The research trials are being conducted in collaboration with
universities with a collective enrollment of 2.1 million students.
These studies aim to evaluate the effectiveness of Studiosity's
AI-for-learning platform in various cultural and socio-economic
contexts, helping to ensure that the technology is adaptable and
impactful in any setting around the world.
"By investing in these large trials and the associated research,
we are not just expanding the reach of our technology; we are
deepening our understanding of its effectiveness across different
educational environments," added Mr. Larsen. "Our goal is to ensure
that Studiosity continues to provide meaningful, evidence-based
support to students, no matter where they are in the world."
