IIOE has integrated DeepSeek, a leading large language model, into its online learning platform, marking a significant advancement in AI-enhanced education. The upgraded IIOE platform aims to deliver smarter and more efficient learning experiences for its global network of partner universities. Leveraging DeepSeek's advanced language processing capabilities, the AI assistant "DS-I" will offer 24/7 multilingual support through the IIOE platform, serving registered users from over 120 institutions across 41 countries.

To further support IIOE National Centers in implementing localized IIOE-related projects and activities, such as certified training for teaching personnel, joints pilot projects, national and institutional events and activities, the IIOE Secretariat has developed a manual for IIOE National Centers to gain a comprehensive understanding on the functions and features of the IIOE platform, as well as on how to utilize and manage the platform and even tailor their dedicated web-page on this platform.
