How to Select the Right Online Course in AI: Top Tips and Checklist 

Having been given a vast number of choices for online courses in artificial intelligence, learners often find themselves at crossroads while selecting the right college/course for their further education. In this regard there are a number of considerations to make, for which certain key tips have been provided below. 

• Check the Accreditations and Approvals of Online Course

The foremost fact you must enquire about is whether the course of your choice is well-accredited. In India, an annual approval from the UGC-DEB for offering an online course in a particular discipline is necessary for the course to be deemed credible, valid and equivalent to an offline regular program. In addition, an approval/recognition from AICTE is important for a technical course like that in AI. As a result, when selecting the right online course in the field of AI, you must check the accreditations of the course as well as the institute/platform from which you plan to pursue the course. 

• Check the Credentials of Instructors/Institution

In addition to credentials of the course, it can be quite helpful to compare the instructors/faculty teaching the course. Since instructors are the primary individuals you would get to interact with during the period of the course, knowing if the instructors are well-qualified, experienced and credible are important. This is especially true for MOOC certificate courses. So, ensure that you evaluate the instructors teaching you the course and check their credentials for the course. 

• Check the Course Credit 

If you are a student pursuing a certificate course along with a degree, it can be quite useful to check if the online course has transferable credit. Transferable credit of an online course can help you fulfill the credit requirements for another course you might be pursuing. Checking the course credit for an online program in AI can be useful to evaluate the difficulty level of the course as well and match it according to one’s own proficiency. 

• Check the Curriculum of Course

Next up, once you evaluate the course’s accreditations, faculty credentials and course credit, you should consider comparing the curricula of the courses you are interested in. You can check the level of difficulty of the course, the coverage of important concepts related to AI and also the course structure (with respect to semesters, projects, dissertation etc. in the case of degrees etc.). Such factors can help you assess if the course matches your academic and technical proficiency, covers the subjects you wish to develop your skills in and matches the time and efforts you can devote to the course on a daily basis. 

• Check for Practical Lab & Skill-Building Provisions

Another important factor that often deters students from taking up online courses is the absence of sufficient provisions for practical learning and hands-on skill building. As a result, while selecting the online course of your choice in AI, it is important to ensure that the course structure and pedagogy incorporates sufficient hands-on activities, practical lab lectures and provisions for practical skill-building, especially considering proficiency in a complex technical domain like artificial intelligence. 

• Check for Placement Support 

Crucial to starting or enhancing one’s career successfully in the field of artificial intelligence is the right guidance and support for career exploration. As a result, ensuring that your online course provides career support in the form of placement guidance, counselling, grooming and drives are important. If you are considering pursuing an online degree course in AI, looking for the right placement services in addition to the course credibility in your online university is important. 

• Your Own Academic & Career Needs

Assessing your own readiness and positionality to pursue an online course is important before enrolling in it. Contrary to common belief, online courses, especially for technical subjects, require consistent efforts and active engagement for fruitful learning outcomes. Thus, matching an online AI course with your other commitments, availability of time, proficiency level as well as career needs based on current position are important. This is true for working professionals as well for whom balancing between the academic commitment to the course and professional commitment is an added responsibility. 

Thus, assessing and carefully selecting the right online course in AI from a variety of choices can be the distinguishing factor that sets your academic and professional journey apart. Upskilling with the right course that matches your unique academic and skill-building needs is of utmost importance, and online AI courses have made this possible, with customised and individualised feedback and support. 

Conclusion 

Upskilling oneself in artificial intelligence can be a wise choice for technology enthusiasts as well as executives and working professionals in the IT industry, as it is a rapidly growing discipline with appealing prospects and a prosperous future. Choosing the right online course in the specialisation of AI can render a student or professional secure and successful in their AI career.
