What is the JISC discovery tool?
As a student at the University you have access to the JISC Discovery Tool. This tool enables you to self assess your digital skills and to find out what skills you may need to develop.
There are several different question sets, including some specifically designed for students. One of the question sets is specifically for digital skills in AI and generative AI, which will give a you a good overview of your current confidence levels with AI and genAI. Once your report has generated, the tool will give you suggestions of next steps to take.
Each question set takes around 10 minutes to complete, and once you submit your answers to a set, you receive your report, which includes:
- An overview of your digital profile
- Suggested next steps
- Links to resources, which support the development of each individual capability
You can complete any of the question sets as many times as you like, and compare your current evaluation with earlier ones.
You have access to this with your usual UofG log in credentials. Click the link to log in, select University of Glasgow and then follow the usual steps for single sign on (SSO) using your UofG log in.
