Description

Miami Dade College deployed Microsoft 365 Copilot among its President's Cabinet and senior leaders, and used Microsoft Copilot Studio to build AI-powered assistants supporting personalized learning, coding exercises, essay structures and math problems around the clock. In the first semester of implementation in STEM and advanced analytics courses, the college saw a 15% increase in student pass rates and a 12% decrease in dropout rates. A survey found 77% of users completed tasks faster, 76% saw improved work quality, and 81% reported increased productivity; if just 15% of MDC's more than 6,000 employees saved 12 minutes a day, that would total nearly 50,000 hours a year. Encouraged by these results, MDC expanded its Copilot deployment by 400 licenses, prioritizing student-facing employees.
