Maarifa Education Holdings seeks to establish a comprehensive AI Policy to ensure the responsible use, development, and deployment of artificial intelligence across its universities. The project aims to create a framework that addresses key areas such as ethical considerations, data governance, and academic integrity. This policy will align with the institution's goals for innovation and digital transformation, providing clear guidelines for faculty, staff, and students. The project will involve researching existing AI policies in educational settings, identifying best practices, and tailoring them to Maarifa's unique context. The team will also consider potential challenges and propose strategies to mitigate risks associated with AI implementation. By the end of the project, Maarifa Education will have a robust policy that supports ethical AI use while fostering an environment of innovation.

University ICT Policy Development (Aug 2025)

The goal of this project is to develop a comprehensive set of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) policies for the universities of Maarifa Education Holdings. These policies will guide the university's digital infrastructure, data management, cybersecurity, and technology use in both teaching and administration. The current lack of standardized policies has led to inconsistencies in technology use and potential vulnerabilities in data security. By addressing these issues, the project aims to enhance the university's operational efficiency and safeguard sensitive information. The project will involve researching best practices in ICT policy, analyzing the university's current technology landscape, and drafting policies that align with institutional goals and regulatory requirements. This project provides learners with the opportunity to apply their knowledge of ICT systems, policy development, and cybersecurity principles in a real-world context.

AI-Driven Admissions Assistant (Sep 2025)

Maarifa Education Holdings seeks to enhance its admissions process by implementing an AI-driven chatbot. The goal of this project is to design, build, and deploy a production-ready chatbot using Google Dialogflow ES. This chatbot will address frequently asked questions related to admissions, assist prospective students in selecting suitable programs, and facilitate lead collection. Additionally, it will have the capability to book callbacks or campus visits and escalate complex inquiries to a human representative when necessary. The project aims to streamline the admissions process, improve user experience, and increase efficiency by reducing the workload on human staff. Students will apply their classroom knowledge of AI, natural language processing, and user interface design to create a functional and user-friendly chatbot.
