At Tecnológico de Monterrey, one of our priorities for 2030 is to strengthen our educational leadership with artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. As part of the strategy, we developed Skill Studio, an in-house platform that enables faculty and educational specialists to create AI-prompt forms -referred to as Skills- to support and automate content generation, assessment and feedback, administrative tasks, and the development of pedagogical strategies, among other educational processes.

The most impactful current application of Skill Studio is the systematic integration in the didactic design of the 2026 Study Plans courses. A specialized toolkit of 15 Skills was created to streamline and enrich course design processes. These skills are based on two key institutional documents: the Guide for the Didactic Design of Courses and the Guidelines for the Design of the 2026 Study Plans.

To ensure the relevance and quality of the Skills, a six stage development process was implemented:
1. Identification of required Skills through expert consultation and analysis of strategic documents;
2. Initial Skill generation in alignment with the contextual and strategic inputs of the Tec21 Educational Model;
3. Iterative calibration with key profiles to refine the effectiveness and applicability;
4. Institutional validation and release by the Academic Vice-Rectory and the Pedagogical Design and Architecture Department;
5. Faculty training and support emphasizing ethical and responsible AI use
6. Ongoing Skill improvements based on data usage and observations.

The Skill Studio toolkit facilitates key aspects including content generation, designing learning activities, formative assessment, and course structuring. This has effectively enabled faculty to decrease time, enhance creativity, align with institutional guidelines, and promote a critical and ethical approach to AI in education. Although courses are delivered face-to-face, the Skills also help ensure quality and consistency within the Learning Management System (LMS) and will be instrumental in future course adaptations.

It is grounded in inclusivity, allowing educators from all disciplines to leverage AI in a secure and effective manner, ensuring that technological innovation remains a powerful enabler of high-quality education. To date, the toolkit is available for more than 1,300 professors from the 6 schools at Tecnológico de Monterrey to develop over 400 courses already designed in less than a year.
