Teachers are increasingly looking for ways to equip their students with the skills to use AI technology productively and ethically. To meet this growing need, Skillsoft, a leading platform for transformative learning experiences, recently announced the ChatGPT Learning Journey. This AI course, the first in a series, is designed to help organizations and the workforce understand and harness the potential of AI to drive business growth.
The World Economic Forum predicts that AI and machine learning specialists will be the fastest-growing job of 2023, with one million new roles being created by 2027. While these new opportunities are exciting, a recent IT Skills and Salary Report from Skillsoft shows that IT decision-makers are struggling to find the skills needed to fill these roles.
To bridge the gap, the ChatGPT Learning Journey provides a comprehensive exploration of the technology, including an introduction to large language models, practical applications, advanced techniques, and ethical considerations. On-demand courses and hands-on experiences are blended together to ensure that learners are mastering the skills they need. The journey also includes Skillsoft’s Benchmark Assessments to gauge proficiency in generative AI and the ability to create a Python-based, AI-driven application.
Jeffrey R. Tarr, CEO of Skillsoft, emphasizes the importance of upskilling and reskilling employees to take advantage of the opportunities AI presents: “Our ChatGPT Learning Journey is another step in our efforts to address this challenge head-on and ensure our customers can seize the opportunity represented by generative AI, all while doing so safely and ethically.”
Skillsoft also offers an Intro to ChatGPT course through Codecademy to support hands-on coding and programming with AI language models. Additionally, the platform integrates AI into various areas to better serve the needs of organizations and learners. AI is used to generate lesson descriptions, personalize content packages based on unique skill needs, and automate the generation of assessment questions to promote skill mastery.
Teachers and students can benefit from Skillsoft’s AI-driven learning journey. It will help them understand the potential of AI and how to use it responsibly to drive business growth. With the right skills and ethical considerations, students can create meaningful solutions and make an impact in their communities.
