Understanding AI
How AI works and how to use it responsibly.
Smart AI.
Smarter You.
At Unity Environmental University, we believe AI should do more than give you fast answers. It should help you think, learn, and grow. That’s why our Online Applied Bachelor of Science degrees include AI as part of your learning experience. It’s not there to do the work for you, but to be a partner that helps you build real skills and understanding.
AI Literacy
A Core Skill for the Future
Today’s employers are looking for graduates who are confident, responsible, and skilled in using digital tools. That’s why we’ve made AI Literacy part of our general education core. Over the course of six, 1-credit modules, you’ll learn:
Responsible Use
Ways to evaluate information critically and responsibly.
Human + AI Collaboration
Strategies for combining human judgment with AI tools.
Meet Una Tutor
Your AI Learning Companion
Una Tutor isn’t just another chatbot. It’s Unity’s custom-built study partner, built right into your courses. With Una Tutor, you can:
- Learn through conversation. Una Tutor asks you questions that help you think for yourself, work through problems, and build real skills.
- Get helpful feedback. By answering questions, you can show what you know. Una Tutor then helps you see if you’re ready to hand in your work or take a test. If you’re not quite there yet, it gives you clear tips on what to practice so you can improve.
- Access support anytime. Una Tutor is available 24/7 inside your learning platform, so help is always just a click away.
Unlike AI tools that just give you answers, Una Tutor keeps you in control of your learning. It guides you, challenges you, and celebrates your progress along the way.
A Smarter, More Sustainable AI
AI takes a lot of energy to run, and that’s a real concern for the planet. That’s why we built Una Tutor to run on a lighter, course-trained architecture, so it consumes less energy than large-scale platforms like ChatGPT, lowering the environmental footprint of AI in education.
By keeping Una Tutor both smarter and more efficient, Unity helps you build your future and protect the planet at the same time.
