Amesite Launches New Plug-and-Play Course Creation for Remote Learning and Business Training

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Amesite Inc. (Nasdaq: AMST), an artificial intelligence software company providing online learning ecosystems for business, higher education, and K-12, announced today the release of its new Course Manager capability, that enables schools and businesses to quickly and easily upload courses for remote use without the need for technical assistance. 

“It’s clear that schools need flexibility when it comes to providing remote-learning options to their students and businesses need solutions to start upskilling their workforce to meet the needs of the new economy,” Amesite CEO Dr. Ann Marie Sastry said. “Developing this platform so that we could reach more schools and businesses who need this kind of help is the natural progression of our business. And it fits with our ethos that high-quality education should be made as accessible and as affordable to as many people as possible.” 

Since its inception in 2017, Amesite has worked closely with the private sector and a number of K-12 schools and colleges to provide remote learning options, a need that has only increased in the last year. Many schools that are looking to put their entire curriculum online have been stymied by the need for onerous, hands-on support. Amesite’s new Course Manager allows those who are looking to quickly get courses online the ability to do so, even if they have no technical experience. 

“We developed this platform to be able to be used by everyone from teachers to administrators so that they can get learning online in less than a day. The drag and drop feature actually lets you see the course develop as you build it,” Sastry said. “We’ve already seen the ingenuity teachers have displayed so far in getting lesson plans online using old legacy software. It’s been frustrating. Now we’re launching our zero-minute training experience. We designed an interface that utilizes the same tech from apps we use every day so that anyone will feel comfortable hopping right in and getting started.” 

Amesite makes use of artificial-intelligence technology in all its platforms, a feature that has helped set it apart from the rest of the EdTech space. The AI software and advanced data analytics tools and machine learning algorithms allow Amesite’s programs to continuously update based on the individual student’s progress, pulling in relevant and high-quality information into courses as they progress, which provides an improved and more engaging learning experience. Across all of its programs from schools to business, Amesite has a 98% retention rate. 

“We are excited to see what our existing and new customers do with this platform and we look forward to growing our presence in all of our segments, because of the effectiveness of delivery, and ease of use,” Sastry said.

Royal Navy and US Navy evolve joint AI and ML work

The Royal Navy and the US Navy are working on ways to establish links between their digital delivery teams, test methods for international collaboration and develop deeper technical collaboration around artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

The work, which started in August 2020, is part of a wider initiative to establish better technology cooperations between the US and the UK. It follows a mandate from senior leaders in digital and AI at both organisations, with the objective to “aggressively explore, develop and demonstrate” how the two countries make applications work together in an interoperable way, and how they can interchangeably use each other’s technology.

A shared long-term vision is that US-UK development squadrons will be created, to develop AI and ML to support fleet operations centres to tactical-level units, and interoperability with joint service partners. Under that mandate, a collaboration plan was devised by Royal Navy Digital Services and the US Navy to look at specific pieces of technology and the methods the organisations use to research, design and build software.

According to a blog post by systems engineer Layna Nelson, a US Navy secondee, effective foreign collaboration is considered important in improving a country’s capabilities and those of allies while bringing different perspectives into digital teams. However, that can be challenging due to factors such as bureaucracy and different time zones. The pandemic adds to those hurdles with the impossibility of quality face-to-face interactions, she said.

To tackle those obstacles, the Navies used a two-day virtual workshop format to start sharing best practice in digital delivery and collaborating on research and development. Two teams were involved in the event: one working on an application to support maritime sustainment planning for the Royal Navy, the other delivering an application to enable digital maritime manoeuvre planning for the US Navy.

In the workshop, the idea was to create a “relaxed environment, facilitate information exchanges and developed a clear plan for further work”, according to Nelson. Among other activities, there were live demonstrations of the teams’ working software, and the teams agreed on a common set of secure online collaboration tools.

In terms of next steps, the session generated 12 areas for follow-on collaboration, which are being finalised between the Navies. These include demonstrating US and UK application interoperability using modern application programming interfaces (API), as well as exploring and understanding software development and deployment processes needed to allow the exchange of applications.

In addition, the Royal Navy User Interface Design System will be tested with US Navy applications, and user-centred design practices will be shared.

According to Nelson, international agreements will be taking place, as well as steps to establish collaborative software development environments in the coming months. “Throughout this pathfinding process, we’ll be learning and evolving with the goal of developing better digital and intelligent capabilities and teams to make our Navies stronger,” said Nelson.
