New CYPHER Agent accelerates the creation of gamified, multimedia courses, and assessments in less than half an hour - laying the foundations for personalized learning at scale.
Plano, Texas – June 21, 2023 - CYPHER Learning®, the leading modern learning platform for businesses and academia worldwide, today announced the launch of CYPHER Agent (formerly name CYPHER Copilot in 2023). Powered by AI, CYPHER Agent empowers users to create comprehensive, engaging and gamified courses and assessments that would normally take days, weeks or even months in minutes. Furthermore, as courses and assessments are automatically aligned to specific competencies, everyone in the learning process benefits from a fine-grained approach that supports personalized learning.
A world first, CYPHER Agent is available now through the CYPHER modern learning platform. CYPHER Agent removes 80% of the work required to design and curate courses, competencies and assessments, meaning teachers and trainers can focus their attention on the final 20%. Key features include:
- Accelerated curriculum and course design, including course outlines, descriptions and content in over 50 languages. CYPHER Agent enables the generation of an entire course in under 5 minutes, allowing the selection of materials that reflect individuals’ style and objectives in a fast and cost-effective way.
- Targeted assessments to track learner progression and identify gaps, including rubric creation and question banks. CYPHER Agent helps trainers and educators to automatically generate detailed quizzes, games, and assessments to help evaluate learner progress.
- Alignment with a full competency-based learning model. CYPHER Agent enables organizations to generate competencies, create courses that align to those competencies, along with question banks and assignments that automatically align with those competencies - right down to the question level.
- Embedded gamification to increase learner engagement. CYPHER Agent gamifies courses to bring development to life and inspire learners, improving information retention and understanding to deliver better outcomes.
“Competency based learning unlocks the potential for personalized learning - the holy Grail of skills development. Yet until now, it's just not been possible at scale,” comments Graham Glass, CYPHER Learning CEO. “Building and designing development courses is an important part of any teacher or instructor’s job, but it is also very time-consuming. Yet demand for courses is steadily increasing. 33% of the skills needed three years ago are already irrelevant, according to Gartner. At the same time, global teacher shortages are bringing educational institutions to their knees. Something’s got to give. Teachers and instructors do not have the resources to keep up with demand.”
CYPHER Agent is designed to address these issues, Glass continues: “CYPHER Agent harnesses the power of AI to take care of the mundane aspects of course creation, while still curating dynamic, gamified, multimedia, engaging courses that inspire a passion for lifelong learning. CYPHER Agent is simple and intuitive to use, giving teachers and instructors an AI guided smart assistant who can cut their workload by 80% or more. This accelerates course development, allowing teachers and trainers to focus on the final 20% to polish and refine, ensuring that new courses can be added to stay ahead of the curve. This helps to ensure that human talent is focused where it needs to be, on delivering better outcomes for the learner and the business.”
