Problem

Course content sat in an old learning system in mixed formats, and a manual rewrite was judged too slow.

Approach

The university used Azure OpenAI to analyse more than 1,200 courses and 60,000 web pages, then applied a prompt to reorganise content into one format. Academics reviewed the results before the move to MyLearn.

Takeaway

Academics reviewed the AI-standardised content before its move to MyLearn. The 20,000-hour figure estimates how long the work would have taken manually.
