STRATEGIC UPDATES

ATAIN is a national initiative supercharging credit mobility and college transfer success for learners across the country. By harnessing cutting-edge AI technology through a software platform called CourseWise, ATAIN aims to eliminate the frustration, friction, and uncertainty 
of credit transfer and empower institutions to best serve their students. ATAIN kicks off at Foothill this month with a cross-district team. Read more about ATAIN at   and below.

Specifically, CourseWise is the software platform that modernizes the articulation process through the following: 

1. National AI-Informed Equivalency Database | Phase I
   • Gathers course catalogs and existing articulations from participating institutions 
   • It uses AI to suggest new equivalencies at scale, increasing the volume of credits accepted
   • Primary users: Advisors, counselors, articulation officers, and registrars.
