Comprehensive, Up-to-the-Minute Primers on the Most Complex Issues of Media and MarketingREGISTER NOWAI For Media, Marketing & AdvertisingArtificial Intelligence has begun making real contributions to the business of marketing and advertising and appears poised for even more rapid growth. According to McKinsey Global Institute, AI could create an additional 13 trillion US dollars of value annually by the year 2030. But if you are not an engineer or trained data scientist, how do you step into and profit from developments in the field? The unique pairing in an integrated program of a MOOC (massive open online course) with live video conferences provides a powerful jumpstart for those seeking to learn about AI. If you feel you are arriving late to the AI revolution, don’t despair. Here’s your chance to climb on board this fast-moving train. If you fear you lack the technical skills to keep up, recognize that the name of this introductory level MOOC is AI for Everyone. And everyone includes, well, everyone! And you will be supported by a live educator and coach as well as a learning community of classmates.If time for study is an issue for you, know that the course is designed for the busy professional and is offered in bite-sized chunks to be consumed on your own schedule. One to two hours a week.Classes Begin on Wednesday, 10/23 LEARN MOREOur course facilitator is Richard Zackon, the founder of consulting firm Audience Patterns LLC and a 40-year veteran of advertising, marketing and media education. Richard has developed this breakthrough program for anyone seeking to develop his or her competence in the techniques f the role of Artificial Intelligence in those sectors. The program combines the value of a high-quality MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) lecture series with the live, immersive social engagement provided via Zoom video conferencing. The Zoom series features Richard and fellow students and enhances motivation, dialog and learning. The vast majority of people who take typical MOOCs never finish since there is no feedback mechanism and insufficient incentive to keep going. Richard, an experienced professional coach and group facilitator, has solved this for students of our course. The Power of Our Enhanced AI Program Our course includes two components to help participants develop AI competence: AI for Everyone, the basic four-week MOOC, and Richard’s Zoom Discussion Series, a five-part, weekly live online meet-up that adds value to the MOOC sessions through an interactive learning experience. Course Format and TimingFor the October 2019 course, we will begin with a live Zoom discussion to introduce the participants, instructor, topic, and to set the class expectations. Following the first class, you'll complete one of the four MOOC AI sections on your own each week, then participate in a weekly live Zoom session taking place on Wednesday at 4pm ET. The first live Zoom discussion will take place Wednesday October 23.
