Business Problem
75% of our direct competitors are releasing AI-specific or AI-leveraged courses
Key Results
82% of interviewed students
considered the AI-Module as a key-differentiator
250+ students successfully learned how to interact with AI models
100% of the interviewed students gained valuable insights
User Problem
AI's are being used by our students ignoring the risks — interfering with their learning.
Key Insights
Every week there are new updates and new tools and the content can get easily outdated. Constant iterations in the lesson content are unviable
Key Actions
The content had to be timeless & even small iterations need to be roadmapped
Long-term vision
Lesson ➔ Module ➔ B2B ➔ Bootcamp
The vision was to start with a lesson, move to a POC, make a series of iterations, from Version 1 with small iterations before arriving to Version 2.
Then creating a series of sub-products; a upskill-course for B2B, before creating a full 12 weeks Bootcamp.
Design and arrange the AI module
1 Project, 3 Lessons, 2 Show & Tell and a Debate
Feedback & Iterations from POC to V1.3
After extensive feedback both from +150 students and 11 coaches, we've analyzed and discussed the results, reaching the following conclusions:
From students ➔ Reduce theory
Solution ➔ Increase hands-on examples
From Coaches ➔ Simplify lesson
Solution ➔ Provide hands-on guideline
Iterations Roadmap
Before any iteration was done we established the iterations roadmap.
The challenge of this step was that every cohort starts and ends in different moments.
➔ That's a case study by itself, if you want to know more, we can schedule a meeting!
Current State Post-Iterations from 1.3 to 2.0
A fun, interactive and hands-on workshop that combines theory and practice.
The workshop has been tested with small and large groups as well as in-campus and remote cohorts reaching the learning goals in most cases, receiving praises both from students and coaches
