We're thrilled to partner with Studiosity, integrating ethical AI for Learning access, including their world-leading formative writing feedback, into Blackboard®. This empowers universities to provide seamless, ethical 24/7 support.
At Anthology, we're relentlessly focused on empowering institutions to help every student reach their full potential. That's why we're incredibly excited to announce our enhanced partnership with Studiosity, a global leader in on-demand study and writing support. This collaboration deeply integrates Studiosity's ethical AI-powered feedback directly into the Blackboard learning management system (LMS), making essential academic support more accessible and impactful than ever before for millions of students worldwide.
Seamless Support, Powered by Partnership
This isn't just about bringing two technologies together; it's about creating a more cohesive and supportive learning environment. We recognize that behind every successful student support initiative are dedicated technology administrators and educators. Their work to provide seamless access to Studiosity ensures all students can use vital resources that enable results for confidence, retention, and even ROI (Studiosity has a 4.4x return, studied by The Nous Group). Our partnership with Studiosity is a testament to this commitment, providing a truly integrated experience that simplifies access to high-quality academic help.
Real Student Learning Results from College Partners
The impact of this integration is already clear, with our university partners reporting significant gains. Students are receiving precise, consistent feedback that directly translates into improved academic outcomes.
For instance, at Ajman University in the UAE, a study found that average student writing performance increased notably, jumping from 66.9% to 75.3%. Beyond scores, reports highlighted visible improvements in student writing, including better structure, clarity, and coherence. Studiosity has also been crucial in supporting students with conditional English admission, providing equitable access to essential language improvement resources for thousands of diverse learners. The university further noted increases in critical thinking skills (from 2.74 to 3.15) and 'Use of Sources' skills (from 1.56 to 2.63), with a remarkable 73% of sessions occurring after hours—providing support when students need it most.
In England, the University of Bedfordshire has observed objective precision and consistency in the feedback provided by Studiosity, leading to up to a 21% increase in student grades. Students gained a better understanding of their assignments and reported feeling significantly more confident at final submission after receiving feedback. Staff at Bedfordshire responded positively, particularly noting Studiosity's utility in identifying critical thinking skills. Students also expressed how much they value the speed, consistency, and accessibility of the AI feedback, noting that it has encouraged a more proactive approach to writing, fostering greater independence and confidence while preserving student authorship.
Mike Larsen, CEO at Studiosity, said: "We are proud to bring our unique, on-demand writing and academic feedback solutions directly to our university and college partners and their Blackboard users. The results, proven via extensive academic research at our college and university partners, including significant increases in writing performance and critical thinking skills, confidence, and a 4.4x ROI via student persistence, demonstrate the power of true ‘AI for Learning’. This partnership with Anthology and the seamless and secure integration with Blackboard helps us enhance these outcomes even further.”
