What’s Happening in CLASS
Instructor Sujee Maniyam returns this February to lead another CLASS course on integrating AI-driven applications in higher education.
Join us on Feb. 10-13 for a four-day course and explore how to develop intelligent applications that leverage Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to adapt to individual learner needs.
This course combines theory, hands-on exercises, and case studies to enable participants to design and implement advanced RAG models for customized learning paths in higher education.
-
This advanced course is designed for educators, instructional designers, and technologists interested in harnessing RAG to create personalized learning experiences.
-
Gain a strong foundation of RAG and learn to design, build, and implement RAG pipelines that provide personalized content retrieval and adaptive learning experiences based on learner data. Create real-time personalized assessments and deploy and scale RAG systems within your institution.
-
Registration for “Advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation/Large Language Models for Personalized Learning” is now open.
