Why study a course on AI in Education?
According to recent surveys, 77% of faculty at four-year institutions believe their universities are unprepared for AI-related changes. With this course, Wharton aims to close that gap by providing instructors with practical skills and knowledge to meet the demands of a tech-driven education system.
“Wharton has been a leader in exploring how AI can accelerate learning,” said Leah Belsky, VP and general manager of education at OpenAI. “This course is an exciting opportunity to share these insights with educators worldwide and empower them to reimagine teaching.”
The course is available now on Coursera, allowing educators to explore AI’s potential in their own time while gaining insight from Wharton’s renowned faculty.
