Higher education institutions
Engage your students in immersive learning to help them develop skills such as teamwork, active listening, and public speaking.
Our approach
to AI
By focusing on our educators and our learners, we ensure our approach to AI balances innovation with the need to protect and empower our users.
Our AI for Good checklist
Any new AI feature we implement has to hit, at the very least, the three points below in order for us to be happy to release it:
- Focus on learning performance
We only release AI features that enhance both the learning experience and outcomes. - Maintain psychological safety
Each of our AI features is tested to make sure they uphold and protect our learners’ psychological safety. - Ensure inclusivity
We vet each new AI feature to confirm that it’s free from representational bias, ensuring fairness and equality for all our learners.
How do we ensure quality?
We do not use AI to cut corners in our creation or design. We are committed to using AI only to enhance human-led design, not replace it.
Start with why
We work closely with our Subject Matter Experts to ensure that our AI features reinforce the overall learning objectives.
Risk assessment
Rigorous assessment of our new use cases ensures that we reduce the risks of inaccuracy, bias, and hallucinations.
Test and refine
Leveraging real-world data, our AI experts test and refine prompts until they meet the standard we have for quality.
Deliver and refine
Even after they’ve been released, we review AI responses to make sure we’re always improving performance.
What people say about Bodyswaps
"The AI roleplay simulator provided a dynamic and immersive debate experience, allowing me to input the topic and opposing opinions before engaging directly with the avatar. It felt incredibly realistic as I had to think on my feet, counter arguments, and adapt my approach in real time. The simulator's ability to challenge me with diverse perspectives not only sharpened my debating skills but also built my confidence in handling complex discussions."
Zoe Tierney
Learning Technologist, Burton and South Derbyshire College
"I love the safe environment and it made it easy for me to be able to express myself without fear of making mistakes. The interactions with the AI avatar were lifelike and the feedback gave me a real sense of achievement."
Colin Smith
eLearning Coordinator, The Cornwall College Group
"This is an excellent was to practice debating skills. The AI responses were well done and I found myself arguing with a person, not an AI."
Jim Chaffee
Executive Director, The University of Iowa Tippie College of Business
"This AI simulation tool makes learning fun and interactive by bringing real-world scenarios to life away from the classroom. It will help our students build confidence, communication, and problem-solving skills while keeping learners engaged immersed in the virtual world."
