| Abstract: | This paper examines the impact of using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) teacher for current Higher Education (HE) students from three countries. The study utilized an AI avatar powered by a fine-tuned Large Language Model (LLM), OIMISA, which is trained solely for teaching and learning applications. The AI teacher provided a 9-lesson course on employability and transferable skills. In total 207 students across the three institutions enrolled in the programme. The results demonstrate a noteworthy completion rate of over 47%, along with high levels of engagement across all student cohorts and high satisfaction rates from the students. These show the potential for AI-based virtual teachers across countries for students of HE compared to the use of MOOC platforms. |
