It is a short turnaround but if any names could be passed back to me by close of play Wednesday 13<sup>th</sup><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>December, then I can feed them back. Many thanks.<o:p></o:p></div>

a platform that supports staff to develop teaching, learning and assessment materials using various AI tools. We were successful in a pitch to participate in this pilot and Strathclyde will have 50 individual licences, 35-40 licenses of which would be for
colleagues from across the four faculties. The remaining licences (around 10-15) will be available to colleagues in Education Enhancement and OSDU to support their understanding of the tools and to triage access to support for faculty colleagues from Teachermatic.

Teachermatic tool. Participants will be asked to give feedback about the ease of use and quality of materials created, whether they feel it has saved them time and if they would continue using Teachermatic regularly.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
