Case Study: UPC (Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas) achieves AI-driven teaching transformation and improved learning outcomes with Anthology's Blackboard

Innovation and Leadership An AI-Powered Transformation at the Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas

UPC (Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas), a private university in Lima serving 70,000+ students across 56 undergraduate and 30 postgraduate programs, set out to be a leader in AI-driven education by integrating AI into its courses and migrating instructors to the latest LMS. To meet this challenge UPC partnered with Anthology, adopting Anthology’s Blackboard platform (with AI capabilities powered by Microsoft) to improve pedagogical quality and strengthen learning outcomes.

Anthology’s Blackboard delivered integrated AI tools—such as the AI Design Assistant for course structure, automated assessment generation from question banks, and AI Conversation for Socratic learning—helping UPC complete its Ultra migration and host ethical-AI initiatives with Anthology. The implementation sped up course design and test creation, enabled capture of learning analytics to better support students, and produced reported improvements in pedagogical quality along with uplifted student participation and satisfaction.
