We are pleased to introduce a new approach to student academic support with the launch of three new embedded learning technologies. Students can access two custom designed AI-powered academic support tools 24\/7 directly from the Course navigation menu in their FLO topics: Feedback Buddy and Study Buddy. Staff will be assisted to set up assessments using appropriate design templates through the Cadmus learning technology.<\/p>\n

We encourage all teaching and academic staff to familiarise themselves with the functionality and pedagogical implications of these tools. We will be running a series of workshops about Cadmus on Tuesday 18 November<\/strong> to assist with familiarising staff with the new platform.<\/p>\n

Information for Educators and<\/strong> Academic Staff<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We are pleased to introduce a new approach to student academic support with the launch of three new embedded learning technologies:<\/p>\n

Students <\/strong>can access two custom designed AI-powered academic support tools 24\/7 directly from the Course navigation menu in their FLO topics: Feedback Buddy and Study Buddy.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • These tools leverage the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence and are designed to provide students with timely, flexible, and effective academic assistance across a range of disciplines.<\/li>\n
  • Study Buddy offers 24\/7 support for writing, referencing, statistics, and study planning.<\/li>\n
  • Feedback Buddy enables students to submit drafts and receive near-instant, AI-generated feedback, with the opportunity to follow up for further clarification or discussion.<\/li>\n
  • These tools are underpinned by resources from Student Learning and Support Services, ensuring the guidance provided aligns with Flinders\u2019 academic standards and expectations. This alignment supports educators in maintaining consistency and relevance in the advice students receive.<\/li>\n
  • Please note, at present, students should submit draft assignments as PDFs. The capability to review Microsoft Word documents is in development, and we will communicate updates as soon as this feature becomes available.<\/li>\n
  • Study Buddy and Feedback Buddy will soon replace selected services currently accessed via Studiosity, which will be decommissioned in mid-November to streamline and enhance our support offerings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Staff <\/strong>will be assisted to set up assessments using appropriate design templates through the Cadmus learning technology which will:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Provide students with feedback and links to learning support resources (including SLSS resources or topic specific resources) during the writing process.<\/li>\n
    • Scaffold students through the assessment instructions.<\/li>\n
    • Provide guidance to students during writing on academic integrity.<\/li>\n
    • Monitor students writing for appropriate processes and academic integrity.<\/li>\n
    • Provide academic staff with academic integrity and other writing process analytics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Both student and staff-facing tools will be accessible within FLO, ensuring seamless integration into their academic and learning platform.<\/p>\n
