IBM offered up their Watson AI application and now provides 1,000 free minutes of audio conversion a month.

Inclusive pedagogical design also means that learning resources should recognize contextual diversity and promote plurality rather than homogenization common under many national systems.Ī great example of this is Dallas County Community College's partnership with IBM. Discrimination in education is not simply an issue of access, but also of content. For example the majority of students from Microsoft's program are young women or students from marginalized racial and ethnic groups.
