GitHub portal
The portal is is organised into 3 parts:
- the Mooc, whose content and activities identify the potential and current uses of AI in education, understand what AI really is and where it comes from, experiment with different AI techniques, identify the crucial role of data for AI-based educational tools, and apply a methodology for analysing an AI-based educational tool;
- the Resources, a set of resources and tools related to AI or AI and education, used during experimentation with AI by teachers in the European AI4T project;
- Build Your Own Training, the methodology proposed to help those who wish to use the resources of the Mooc, translate them and organise them to build their own AI training course for teachers.”
EU AI Act: first regulation on artificial intelligence
The European Commission tabled a proposal for an EU regulatory framework on artificial
intelligence (AI) in April 2021. The AI act is the first ever attempt to enact a horizontal regulation for AI. The proposed legal framework focuses on the specific utilisation of AI systems and associated risks.
Professional Development for Teachers in the Age of AI
European Schoolnet Academy Thematic Seminar Report explores how professional development for teachers needs to change in the age of AI. From fostering an understanding of AI applications in education to equipping teachers with the requisite skills to leverage these technologies, our analysis aims to provide insights into how professional development can empower teachers to navigate the complexities of the changes brought about by AI.
The report addresses three crucial areas pertaining to the integration of AI in teacher training.
It is the collaborative work of a group of researchers and teacher trainers who have studied how teacher professional development needs to change in light of AI, and who have gained first-hand experience of implementing teacher training activities about AI and with the support of AI.
Digital skills playbook for educators
