Problem

The economics faculty needed students' AI use to follow assigned course materials while preserving responsibility for academic work.

Approach

The faculty developed an assistant inside its Mi Econ platform. Teachers supplied the academic materials used to answer questions in a closed environment. Institutional rules retained student responsibility for checking information and attributing sources.

Results

2,000students using the assistant, reported by the facultyCompany's own claim[1]

40subjects using the assistant, reported by the facultyCompany's own claim[1]

184course sections using the assistant, reported by the facultyCompany's own claim[1]

Takeaway

Teachers controlled the assistant's source material. The faculty reported adoption figures without reporting gains in learning outcomes.
