On September 19, during the Apsara Conference 2024, Alibaba Cloud signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreement with the International Centre for Higher Education Innovation under the auspices of UNESCO (UNESCO-ICHEI) to jointly launch the GenAI and Cloud Micro-Certification online program, aiming to popularize GenAI technology to higher education institutes around the world including Asia and Africa.
This program features several courses designed to help educators and students in higher education institutions across Asia and Africa understand the fundamentals of GenAI and cloud computing, and apply them to teaching activities and daily learning. For instance, educators can learn how to use large languages models to prepare teaching materials, design class activities, create teaching plan and assessments to make learning more engaging, personalized, and efficient.
After completing each course, educators and students can take an exam to obtain a micro certification jointly issued by UNESCO-ICHEI and Alibaba Cloud. With the gradual rollout of the program, the initiative aims to benefit around 12,000 educators and students globally by the end of 2025.
This collaboration marks a solid step forward in the shared vision of Alibaba Cloud and UNESCO-ICHEI to cultivate global digital talents and promote the integration of AI in higher education. We look forward to igniting more innovative thinking and fostering the transformation of educational models as this program progresses and deepens, making GenAI an accessible tool for every learner, and jointly outlining a smarter and more inclusive blueprint for education.
