Information for Staff

1. Teacher Only Day is on Tuesday 3 June. There will be no briefing in the morning but you will join your late start group from 8.30 - 9.30am. The person leading the group will be in touch prior with more details.

If you are not in a PLG group, please see BLS for details.

The rest of the day is in your departments. HoLA's have been asked to send through a quick outline for the day and should get this to you prior.

2. Tool for the week: Keenious

Keenious uses its AI recommendation engine to analyse your document, understand its content, and compare it to millions of scientific publications to provide you with the most relevant research articles and topics. So, while you can copy and paste your text into the web version of Kenious, the best feature is that it can be installed into Word or Google Docs that can review your writing and suggest relevant articles. You can install the relevant application or use it as a standalone by pasting your research into the tool.

3. Want a bit of fun with your classes? Try https://quickdraw.withgoogle.com/ - Quick Draw Quick, Draw! provides real-time feedback as you draw. Students can see how good the neural network is at recognising their drawings. It also makes its data set publicly available, meaning that other researchers can use the data to train their own neural networks.

It is like Pictionary - but this is what AI does, and looks at how LLM's are trained. It is taking data and learning through the algorithm to detect what the image is.
