Otermans Institute

Welcoming the New Year with a mix of hope and a bit of worry. As our kids navigate this tech-driven world, we should aim to balance their curiosity with our guidance. Dr Pauldy Otermans highlighted this during her recent TEDx in Viikki. How do you plan to support your children in the digital age?

Looking forward to being part of this Webinar to celebrate International Women's Day with Women in Management talking about "Women Leaders in the Age of AI: Redefining Work, Leadership, and Global Networks" #AI #Women #WomeninLeadership #upskillingageneration Otermans Institute

Our New Study is OUT! Dr Pauldy Otermans and Dev Aditya explored how an AI teacher can help improve the skills of nursery-level teachers. Using our special AI model called OIMISA7B, our AI avatar (designed to look like a female trainer) delivered 4 one-hour lessons. The study focused on how well this AI approach worked by tracking completion rates and questions asked to the AI. The goal? To empower teachers and enhance their teaching methods.

Can #AI bridge the gap between traditional and digital teaching? Despite the improved accessibility provided by #MOOC platforms and #online lessons, learning outside of the classroom remains largely in one direction. #Students either read or consume passive audio-visual content like recordings and videos, seeking clarifications independently and applying their learning without guidance. #Teachers often lack insights into students’ learning progress, comprehension and challenges outside the classroom. We just wrote an article about it, and you can read it for free by subscribing here: https://lnkd.in/dnt3Y5Ay We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Always a pleasure to visit Bett Global. THREE (3) years have passed since our first visit. In the meantime, our #team has grown up and this is not something banal. Let us explain why: We've #expanded, #failed #developed, #rebuilt, and #upgraded ourselves and our product. We have #supported: - 10+ HE institutions across the world - 200+ neurodivergent learners in the UK - 50+ teachers with a nursery programme, representing our first L&D project We have #created: - Our own #AIteacher, in 2 languages - Our own #LLM, OIMISA. (In just 25 days, our team developed an entire semester programme where our AI teacher delivered 88 personalised lessons to 260 students in Telangana State) We have #published: - 7 research papers, including one in Frontiers about how teaching employability and transferable skills (something, unfortunately, undervalued in many universities worldwide) can be beneficial, interactive, engaging, and rewarding when delivered in a modern way (we used our AI teachers) And more. Perhaps these achievements are considered #babysteps from the #bigcompanies. But babies grow, and they will learn how to walk, climb, fall, get up, and, of course, run. What we have seen at BETT is that many (not everyone, of course) #edtech innovators share beautiful ideas to improve education for hundreds, thousands, or millions, but only consider what is under their nose or often with a short-term focus. Our evolution, as a #company, #team, and #individuals, depends on our commitment to making a (POSITIVE) lasting impact. Baby steps are necessary to learn how to run. #Show your baby steps and be proud. Show that you are learning how to run. To everyone. #upskillingageneration #Bett2025 #Bett2022

We just concluded our first collaboration with University of Technology and Applied Sciences which is officially the 1st university in #Oman using our OIAI digital human teachers to upskill exceptional students and cultivate the leaders of tomorrow. Imagine AI tools not replacing teachers but empowering them to become even more exceptional. That's the magic of OIAI - which is able to give personalised learning, data-driven insights, and unwavering support for all learners. Will your university be the next one empowered by OIAI? #upskillingageneration #innovation #education #ai #employability #training #students #edtech #oman #artificialintelligence #technews
