Meet Lumi, your AI-Powered Study Assistant

Lumi is now available in SurreyLearn to help you make the most of your module materials.

Published:

Think of Lumi as a study companion that can answer questions about your course content, explain difficult concepts, help you revise and guide you to relevant learning materials. 

How Lumi can help

You can use Lumi to:

  • Explain challenging concepts and topics in new ways
  • Test your knowledge and understanding
  • Generate summaries, quizzes, flashcards, and practice questions
  • Find relevant lectures, readings, videos, and other module resources
  • Review information about module structure, key dates, and deadlines
  • Access information about university services, support, and student processes.

What makes Lumi different?

Unlike general AI tools, Lumi bases its answers only on the resources provided within your modules rather than searching the wider internet.

It is designed to support your learning, not replace your tutors, lecturers, or independent study.

A few important things to remember

Lumi cannot:

  • Complete assessed work for you
  • Replace guidance from your lecturers
  • Search the internet or use external websites
  • Provide feedback on documents you upload
  • Replace critical thinking, reading, and academic judgement

Like all AI tools, Lumi can occasionally make mistakes. If something doesn't seem right, check the original course materials or speak to your teaching team.
