Universities everywhere face a dual challenge: delivering engaging, high-quality learning while keeping budgets under control. Faculty workloads, technology investments, and rising student expectations make this balance harder every year.
Mexty, an AI-powered, no-code course authoring platform, gives higher-education institutions a practical way to meet these pressures. By dramatically reducing the time and expense of course development—and by enabling new program models—Mexty turns instructional design into a strategic advantage.
- Slash Course Development Costs
Building a single online course traditionally takes 100+ hours of work across faculty, instructional designers, media specialists, and IT teams. Budgets of $8,000–$15,000 per course are common.
How Mexty changes the equation
- AI-assisted content generation produces a structured, interactive course draft from a simple outline. You can incorporate your own or legacy materials, follow an official program, or prototype a new course without heavy upfront investment.
- Built-in design templates remove most third-party costs and include free access to Mexty’s own LMS.
- No coding is required to build interactive lessons or release new apps, freeing IT staff for higher-priority projects.
A university producing 50 new courses annually can cut development time by 60–70%, saving an estimated $250K–$400K each year.
- Extend the Life of Existing Content
Many institutions rebuild courses every few years just to stay current—an expensive cycle.
With Mexty:
- Faculty can update individual sections or activities in minutes.
- Fresh case studies, quizzes, and examples drop in without reworking the entire course.
- Updates flow automatically to SCORM packages and any LMS.
This quick-refresh model keeps content academically relevant while avoiding thousands in redevelopment costs.
- Create New Revenue Streams with Short Courses & Micro-Credentials
Professional learners and industry partners are seeking concise, skills-based learning experiences.
Mexty makes it easy to:
- Produce 2–10-hour micro-courses or certificate bundles quickly.
- Offer multilingual versions to reach global audiences.
- Integrate seamlessly with e-commerce tools and LMS platforms.
For example, a 6-hour “Sustainable Business Practices” micro-course priced at €120 and enrolling 500 learners annually generates about $60,000. Ten such courses could exceed $500K in new revenue with minimal additional staff.
- Optimize Faculty Time
Faculty time is both limited and valuable. Mexty’s AI tools let instructors:
- Draft lessons, activities, and assessments in minutes.
- Update or localize existing courses quickly.
- Collaborate in real time with instructional designers and administrators, cutting down endless email chains.
Even a modest five hours saved per month equals 12,000 faculty hours a year across 200 instructors—time that can be redirected to research, student mentoring, or new program creation.
Why It Matters
Mexty is more than a content-creation tool—it’s a strategic enabler for higher education:
- Financial impact: lower development costs and extended content life.
- Academic quality: faster updates keep courses fresh and engaging.
- Growth opportunities: rapid launch of micro-credentials and international programs.
- Faculty empowerment: more time for high-value teaching and research.
As universities rethink their digital strategies, AI-first authoring platforms like Mexty provide a clear path to do more with less—while opening entirely new avenues for revenue and impact.
