Why Studiosity?
UWE Bristol were looking for additional support for all of their enrolled students, specifically supporting attainment and retention, but also contributing to their student wellbeing and all round experience. The support needed to work in conjunction with their existing internal resources to ensure learners were provided with a holistic learning environment, across all areas of study, for their complete university experience; plus, in line with the Universities strong graduate employability mission, for beyond into the workplace as well.
The University first partnered with Studiosity in October 2022 for two year collaboration, and in September 2024, extended this partnership for a further two years with Studiosity Plus, our AI-for-Learning service. As well as offering immediate, formative writing feedback, the University enhanced support for all of their students by also adding immediate study assistance via Study Assist, and equal-access to a scaled peer mentoring programme via Student Connect.
