Educator & Generative AI Scientist with 20+ Years of Higher-Ed and Research Experience
CloudPedagogy equips academic developers, learning designers, research managers, and senior leaders with deep, applied generative AI skills—so institutions can adopt these tools responsibly, ethically, and at scale. We believe:
Education Should Be Hands-On
It’s not enough to discuss generative AI in theory—learners need practical exercises, real-world prompts, and structured activities to experiment, refine, and build genuine confidence.
Context Matters
A one-size-fits-all MOOC won’t address complex workflows across universities, research centres, libraries, and museums. Our courses are crafted around relevant policies and tackle institutional challenges—governance, assessment integrity, research acceleration, and operational efficiency.
Efficiency & Competitive Advantage
In an era of tightening budgets and heightened competition, CloudPedagogy helps institutions unlock efficiency gains—whether automating routine administrative tasks, accelerating literature reviews with generative models, or drafting policy documents. These savings free up faculty and staff time for strategic initiatives, making your institution leaner, more agile, and better positioned to compete.
Guided Pathways Foster Growth
We’ve organised our content into progressive learning pathways so that everyone—from newcomers to seasoned professionals—can upskill at their own pace, layering knowledge from ethical foundations to executive-level strategy. New generative AI course bundles are continuously in development to deepen and broaden these pathways.
Pedagogical Structure Across Courses
Our foundation courses include structured quizzes to support early-stage learners in checking their understanding of core generative AI concepts. As learners progress into specialist courses, the emphasis shifts to application, synthesis, and real-world use. That’s why these advanced courses replace quizzes with hands-on prompt libraries and applied exercises based on the CloudPedagogy Generative AI Capability Framework — helping learners develop transferable skills they can apply immediately in their own institutional contexts.
