CSC 810 - AI and the Future of Universities: What Should Nigerian Universities Be Teaching Now?

Module 2 - AI Application Skills

Free

This seminar examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping higher education and the skills universities need to develop for an increasingly AI-driven economy. It moves beyond an introduction to AI to critically examine its implications for university curricula, teaching and learning, assessment, research, graduate employability, and the future of academic work.Participants will explore the changing skills and competencies required by employers, assess the limitations of traditional curricula, and consider how AI literacy, data literacy, critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, ethical reasoning, and AI governance can be incorporated into university education. The seminar also considers the opportunities and risks associated with generative AI, including academic integrity, bias, privacy, responsible use, and human oversight.Using practical examples and guided discussion, participants will develop recommendations for making Nigerian universities more responsive to technological change and better preparing graduates for an AI-enabled workplace. The session concludes by considering what universities should teach differently, teach additionally, or stop teaching as AI becomes increasingly capable.

EDN 603: Health Economics

EDN 603: Health Economics

Free

Course OverviewEDN 603 introduces students to the application of economic principles in the management and allocation of health and nursing resources. The course examines the relationships between demography, social stratification, poverty, social welfare and population health, alongside key health and economic indicators.Students will explore the concepts of scarcity, choice, opportunity cost, demand and supply and their application to healthcare. The course also considers the availability, distribution and production of health and nursing services, including human and material resource constraints and the internal and external migration of health workers.The course further examines health-sector policies and reforms, including national and global health-development initiatives, health insurance and social welfare programmes, public-private partnerships, outsourcing, privatisation and commercialisation of healthcare services. Particular attention is given to the political economy of health, costing of health and nursing services, bottom-up budgeting, and the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of health programmes. Entrepreneurship in nursing services and the practical application of economic principles to resource allocation and decision-making in health and educational institutions are also considered.Learning OutcomesOn successful completion of this course, students should be able to:Explain the relationships between demography, social stratification, poverty, social exclusion, health and economic outcomes.Interpret key health and economic indicators, including morbidity, mortality and gross domestic product (GDP), and explain their relevance to health planning and resource allocation.Discuss social welfare, poverty-alleviation and health-financing programmes, including the role of nurses within Nigeria's health insurance system.Apply the concepts of scarcity, choice, opportunity cost, demand and supply to health and nursing services.Analyse the economic implications of internal and external migration of health workers and the availability and distribution of health and nursing services.Examine problems associated with the production of healthcare, including constraints relating to human and material resources.Evaluate the implications of government policies and health-sector reforms, including national and global health-development initiatives, public-private partnerships, outsourcing, privatisation and commercialisation of healthcare services.Explain and apply principles of political economy, costing and bottom-up budgeting within health, nursing and educational institutions.Apply principles of planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation to healthcare programmes and resource utilisation.Examine entrepreneurship opportunities and resource-management considerations in nursing services.Integrate economic principles in making efficient and equitable decisions about the use of limited healthcare resources.
