|
|
| ## Our Mission |
|
|
| NextGenU works to expand equitable access to high-quality education by developing and sharing free, evidence-based learning resources and supporting institutions in strengthening education and training capacity. |
|
|
| Our work brings together open education, instructional design, global health, multilingual learning, and emerging technologies to make high-quality learning more accessible across settings and languages. |
|
|
| ## AI Solutions |
|
|
| NextGenU explores responsible uses of artificial intelligence to support education and knowledge access, including: |
|
|
| - **Language and Translation:** Machine translation and localization tools for low-resource and underserved languages. |
| - **Learning Design:** AI-supported development and adaptation of educational resources. |
| - **Accessible Learning:** Tools that help make educational content easier to access, understand, and use across different contexts. |
| - **Human-Governed AI:** Workflows designed to keep subject matter experts, educators, and human reviewers involved in the development and quality assurance process. |
|
|
| ## Language & Translation |
|
|
| NextGenU develops and evaluates multilingual resources and translation technologies to support access to education in languages that are often underrepresented in existing digital tools. |
|
|
| Current work hosted on Hugging Face includes machine-translation models and datasets supporting French and shiKomori language varieties. |
