Generative AI has quickly gained a significant foothold in academia, and is now used widely for teaching, learning, and research purposes. New products are appearing so rapidly that just keeping up with them is difficult, and understanding the value of individual products in a now-crowded marketplace is a major challenge for end users and for university CIOs, IT departments, and others involved in decision making about which products will be supported and/or licensed for campus users. With the rapid development of new generative AI tools for teaching and learning, we’re releasing a new product tracker to share up-to-date information on the latest tools and products on the market for higher education.

Today we have published the latest in our Policy Series: The Future of Quality in England. This new paper examines the relationship between quality and the current English higher education funding landscape. While part of a series focused on the impacts of the funding situation in England, the paper also reflects sets of circumstances being experienced across all four nations of the UK. The paper recognises the impacts of the real terms reduction in the value of the domestic student tuition fee, which is now worth less than three-quarters of what it was when it was introduced 12 years ago, and notes that universities on average last year, subsidised the cost of teaching home undergraduates by around £2,500 per student.
