We’ve launched a new tool to help you understand your own AI skills and knowledge—it’s quick, private, and designed just for students. Here’s what to know:
- What it is: A self-guided AI chatbot built with the University of Sydney to help you figure out how ready you are to use AI in your learning. This is a pilot version we’re testing to gather feedback and improve the experience.
- What it does: Asks you a few questions about how you currently use AI and what you know about it.
- What you get: A short summary with feedback on what you’re doing well, where you can improve, and tips for using AI effectively in your courses.
- Privacy: The tool is hosted on the Cogniti system developed by the University of Sydney. Read privacy information below.
- How to access: You’ll log in using your UBC student email. The tool runs on a secure site hosted by the University of Sydney.
- Time commitment: It only takes about 10–15 minutes.
- Why try it: It’s a simple way to get some clarity on where you’re at with AI and where to grow—great if you’re not sure how AI fits into your studies.
- Next steps: Based on your results, you’ll get links to learning resources that can help you build your skills.
