Our Teaching Approach:

We teach the online course with a project based approach with weekly live classes in small cohorts that run every two months. We offer a lot of content but are sensitive to how busy our students are from their jobs and travels. We value the live class discussion from the diversity of perspective of our students who will come into the class with varying degrees of experience, expertise and expectations.

We start the course with Industry Guest Speakers

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a vast topic that covers many technologies and has a huge reach covering many industries and walks of life. We will focus on Voice, Machine Learning, Augmented Reality (AR) and Computer Vision to teach the Product Designer to work with these AI to create Human Computer Interface (HCI) with the user at the center of their design.

The AIX course has professionals from many countries from variety of industries and educational backgrounds coming together to create a human centered design. Some of you might know some AI. Others might have worked with data but are not comfortable with developing AI technologies. All of you share the aspiration to decide for AI to delight your customer.

So, to get the students to the same page, we will spend the first month with guest speakers who will cover one AI per week in a guest lecture session. These sessions will be on Wednesdays at 9am PT/18 hr cest/1pm Brazil. Registered students will join the speaker on a Zoom classroom and can ask questions. If you miss the session, you can come back and watch the recorded session archive and have lifetime access to the lesson.

The guest speakers will bring industry expertise, share tools and best practices and answer student's questions in live online sessions. At the end of each session, the students gets comfortable with the practical aspect of one AI per week. The guest speaker sessions also get the students ready to plan for what type of AI are they passionate about and what fits their goals to work for their run-on course project.

Live 1 hour weekly classes in 6 week cohorts

Live classes are taught in small cohorts of 20 students or less where the students learn the fundamental concepts of AIX and key lessons about AI Ethics in designing products and have focused lessons on what is unique in designing for Voice, Machine Learning, Computer Vision and AR each. The students get a foundational knowledge and have interaction Zoom session classes to compare their learning and will be guided to go deeper on the AI they have picked to build their run-on projects.

• The class cohorts will be scheduled on a running basis in diverse batches of experience, global areas and AI focus to enhance the overall class learning.

Final Business Hackathons and AI Jobs

• In the final class of each cohort, students have the choice to present their class projects to their fellow classmates and to select invited industry judges. They will also hear from a guest speaker who is an AI Product and Design Recruiter in industry to hear about how they can pivot their careers from this class learning.
