Hi there!
Today I want to share with you our AI academy’s pedagogic design.
As you may know, designing an effective online course involves careful planning, thoughtful choices, and a commitment to ongoing refinement.
Our design aligns with the National Microcredentials Framework, aimed at addressing the growing demand for shorter-form courses that enable rapid upskilling and lifelong learning.
Here is our approach:
This approach is important to us, but we are looking for opportunities to improve it.
I have a few other things to share with you. You see, we live what we teach.
Our platform is intelligent and automated to drive the best customer experience and operational productivity.
Our use of AI avatars, aka me, in self-paced lesson content enables us to:
Support is available at every step along the way. Chatbot, knowledge base, and help desk—are all just one click away.
Also, privacy and security are always top of mind. Each student has a dedicated portal, a secure login, and a console to track progress. Gated corporate courses can be setup to support groups of students from the same business.
And at least once a week we organise live sessions, delivered on our platform, which supports breakout rooms, whiteboard, group video sharing, polls, chat, Q&A, co-annotation, and live quizzes. All our events can be accessed via mobile app.
What are you waiting for? Go check out our courses, and I’ll see you in one of our classes.
Bye for now and… Stay human!
Today I want to share with you our AI academy’s pedagogic design.
As you may know, designing an effective online course involves careful planning, thoughtful choices, and a commitment to ongoing refinement.
Our design aligns with the National Microcredentials Framework, aimed at addressing the growing demand for shorter-form courses that enable rapid upskilling and lifelong learning.
Here is our approach:
- We set clear learning objectives. Each one of our lessons includes a set of SMART learning outcomes. These are measurable and tested at the end of each lesson and course. A certificate is issued upon successful completion.
- We design for engagement by catering to diverse learning styles. Each one of our lessons integrates video, audio, and images. And we also enable community discussion, and group assignments (when applicable).
- We structure our courses by breaking down content into manageable chunks, and sequence them in ways that build understanding. Each course has a learning roadmap designed to be logical and intuitive.
- All assignments, assessments, and activities directly support the achievement of the learning outcomes. This is called constructive alignment.
- Our materials are designed for accessibility: video transcripts, images alt text, and screen-reader friendly documents. Courses are available on mobile app and on a variety of browsers.
- We support self-regulated learning. Drip lesson scheduling and ongoing comms can be enabled to help learners manage their time, set goals, stay motivated, and reflect on their learning.
- We provide immediate and meaningful feedback. Our interactive quizzes at the end of each lesson provide an opportunity to revise and measure learning outcomes. Plus, the course’s community site enables discussion and peer support.
- Our content is reviewed and updated monthly to keep up with the fast pace evolution of the AI landscape. We also solicit feedback by enabling course reviews and surveys to identify areas for improvement.
- Our human instructors regularly engage in the discussion forums, providing learning support. They also deliver weekly live sessions which are a great opportunity for real-time updates on the latest news and discussion.
- We build a long-lasting community. In addition to the course forum, we give learners access to our discord site enabling voice, video, and chat avenues for engagement beyond the course timeline.
This approach is important to us, but we are looking for opportunities to improve it.
I have a few other things to share with you. You see, we live what we teach.
Our platform is intelligent and automated to drive the best customer experience and operational productivity.
Our use of AI avatars, aka me, in self-paced lesson content enables us to:
- update content fast and effectively, keeping up to date with a fast moving AI landscape.
- deliver content at an optimum pace and to the highest standards of enunciation.
- and also releases instructor time to provide one-to-one support, engage in live sessions, and create more courses.
Support is available at every step along the way. Chatbot, knowledge base, and help desk—are all just one click away.
Also, privacy and security are always top of mind. Each student has a dedicated portal, a secure login, and a console to track progress. Gated corporate courses can be setup to support groups of students from the same business.
