Abstract

GCFGlobalLearning is a non-profit organization committed to creating life-changing opportunities through an innovative virtual education project that incorporates technological tools. Our platform offers free courses to learners worldwide, available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Since our launch, we have welcomed millions of learners. Our current focus is on incorporating artificial intelligence tools that will enhance our learners’ experience. To achieve this, we have developed a recommender system and a learning content search and organization tool that personalizes our learners’ learning journey. Even with limited information about our learners, we can enhance their experience through the use of these AI tools. In this paper, we introduce the platform’s primary components, detail how we overcome our limited learner information scenario, and share our vision of incorporating more artificial intelligence innovations in the future.
