Why it matters for readers: It’s an example of AI used to summarise and quiz students using only teacher‑provided materials.

  • The pilot ran in February across 71 courses and about 2,400 students.1
  • The AI agent is integrated into Moodle and uses natural‑language queries to search and summarize course content.1
  • It is grounded exclusively in course materials uploaded by teaching staff, including recorded lectures, transcripts, presentations and articles.1
  • The system was built with Azure AI Services and developed by KPMG and OpenApp using Microsoft Copilot Studio.1
  • Students can ask the agent to focus on lecture topics, create summaries and test themselves using a quiz feature.1
