The Reality of AI Course Delivery

Why Teaching AI Feels Like an IT Job

Issues that pull educators away from teaching and the reason 150+ institutions switched to CloudLabs.

Students struggling with software setup on laptops in a university computer lab
Infrastructure

Unreliable access to tools

Students waste hours troubleshooting GPU environments and libraries instead of learning.

Disorganized multi-device workspace with inconsistent lab configurations across students
Lab Environments

Poorly structured lab environments

Mismatched environments make collaboration messy and grading painful.

Budget Control

Costs spiraling out of control

Juggling cloud credits and varied hardware blows through department budgets.

Scalability

No scalability or standardization

Solutions for small classes collapse under cohorts of 100+ students. 78% of educators flag this.
