In a rapidly evolving world where the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing each day, higher-ed institutions are facing an unprecedented challenge from this brilliant tech to ensure their relevance.
Overview: Our client, one of the USA’s leading educational institutions, and renowned for its cutting-edge online learning platform, wanted to position itself as a pioneer in providing students with higher education through tailored programs and convenient learning formats.
The client faced a significant challenge due to AI’s widespread influence. Despite AI creeping its way into the workplace, a survey revealed a substantial knowledge gap among U.S. adults, including Generation Z, regarding diverse AI models.
Challenge/Requirement:
Confronted with the rising power of AI, the university recognized the need to address the knowledge gap. A survey conducted on the impact of AI in higher education and the workplace revealed a gap in truly understanding AI tools. While nearly 3 in 5 U.S. adults supported using AI tools in the workplace, a majority, including Gen-Z, lacked familiarity with various AI models.
The challenge was clear – how to equip learners with the essential understanding of AI models to thrive in an increasingly AI-driven world.
Solution by Hurix:
In collaboration with Hurix Digital, the university aimed to address this knowledge gap by introducing a transformative solution — an online, self-paced AI training program. Here are some of the key features of this newly developed AI training program that helped the university immensely:
- Comprehensive Curriculum: The intuitive program covered AI functionality, challenges, and opportunities of generative AI, problem-solving techniques, and intelligent AI solution analysis.
- Flexibility: It was structured to be useful for beginners, amateurs, and even total pros.
- Self-Paced Learning: The program was crafted to allow learners to progress at their speed, ensuring understanding and retention.
- Tailored Pathways: With our intervention, we helped create customized learning paths for diverse skill levels, promoting inclusivity and engagement.
