Kazakh-British Technical University Enhances Learning with Elai.io, Panopto’s AI Video Studio
Antecedentes
The Kazakh-British Technical University (KBTU), established in 2001 in Almaty, Kazakhstan, specializes in sectors vital to the nation’s economy, including oil and gas, information technology, finance, and telecommunications. Distinguished as the first and only Kazakhstani university with IT programs accredited by ABET, KBTU’s faculty comprises seasoned academics and industry professionals. The university also hosts several research institutes and labs, providing platforms for cutting-edge research and hands-on learning opportunities for its students.
Challenge
KBTU faced challenges in delivering efficient and engaging content. Traditional lecture methods had limitations, and while the potential of video-based learning was recognized, producing high-quality video content was time-consuming. Prior to adopting Elai.io, creating a single course could take over two months, delaying the delivery of educational materials.
Solution
To overcome these challenges, KBTU integrated Elai.io, an AI-powered video creation platform, into its educational framework. Elai.io’s text-to-video technology enabled educators to convert lecture notes, scripts, or presentations into polished videos, significantly streamlining the production process. This integration allowed KBTU to develop a wider range of engaging learning content for students, enhancing both flexibility and scalability in content design.
Results
- Increased Engagement and Retention: The university reported a 50% increase in student engagement and a 30% higher retention rate, indicating that the video content created with Elai.io resonated well with students.
- Reduced Production Costs: By streamlining the video creation process, KBTU achieved a 20% reduction in production costs, making educational content delivery more efficient and budget-friendly.
- Scalability and Reach: KBTU successfully launched 18 new courses using Elai.io, reaching an estimated 5,000 students and thereby expanding its educational offerings without compromising quality.
- Multilingual Accessibility: The university translated its video content into three languages—Kazakh, English, and Russian—occasionally incorporating Ukrainian, ensuring inclusivity for its diverse student body.
Conclusión:
The integration of Elai.io into KBTU’s educational framework has proven to be a resounding success. By significantly improving learner engagement, reducing production costs, and accelerating content delivery timelines, Elai.io has enabled KBTU to provide its students with a better, faster, and more engaging learning experience. This initiative positions KBTU as a pioneer in leveraging technology for education, preparing students for the ever-evolving demands of the 21st century.
