Lab Credits and First course
Hello everyone, I’m reaching out to learn how other colleges handle student access to Azure when offering introductory AI or cloud-based courses my goal is to teach Microsoft Azure AI fundamentals. My understanding is that each student is asked to pay individually for Azure access. This model won’t work well for our institution or our student population. I would also like more than 30 day trial of Azure to test out the materials. For those of you who teach AI, cloud computing, or Microsoft Learn for Educators courses, I’d really appreciate your insight: How does your college provide Azure access for students? Do you use institution-wide Azure credits or centrally fund Azure usage? Are there specific Microsoft AI courses (e.g., Microsoft Azure AI fundamentals) that your institution uses as their first one? Any details about processes would be extremely helpful. My goal is to offer hands-on AI learning without placing a financial burden on students, and I’m hoping to learn from your approaches. Thank you in advance for your guidance and experiences! Best regards, Joe
