Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto has exciting news to share – a groundbreaking partnership with Microsoft that will bring Azure AI technology to its educational offerings. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Seneca and is the first of its kind in Canada.
The highlight of this partnership is the introduction of an AI tutor, designed to provide personalized job interview simulations for students and staff. This innovative approach aims to enhance learning and prepare students for future employment opportunities.
David Agnew, President of Seneca Polytechnic, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating that Seneca is thrilled to bring responsible and innovative AI technology to the forefront of the teaching and learning experience for students and employees.
The AI tutor, powered by Microsoft Azure OpenAI, will offer personalized support outside the classroom, including customized quizzes and homework feedback. This advanced technology will revolutionize traditional tutoring methods, offering a more tailored and efficient learning experience for all.
In addition to the AI tutor, Seneca employees will benefit from Microsoft Copilot integration. This feature will streamline tasks, provide detailed explanations for math problems, improve writing skills, and even assist with coding through natural language requests. The result? A boost in productivity and efficiency across various functions within the institution.
Furthermore, this partnership will enhance InStage – a platform developed at Seneca’s HELIX incubator – with Azure AI. This upgrade will offer personalized job interview simulations that provide students with valuable feedback on their performance, ultimately preparing them for success in their future careers.
But that’s not all. Microsoft’s Azure AI tech will also elevate The Service Hub – Seneca’s omnichannel destination for student support – as well as other resources that cater to students and employees alike. This integration promises an enhanced user experience that is both intuitive and efficient.
This collaboration between Seneca Polytechnic and Microsoft represents a significant step forward in leveraging cutting-edge technology to empower both students and staff. As we look ahead to the future of education in Canada, it’s clear that this partnership is paving the way for a new era of learning excellence.
