Instructions for participants of the e-course “Artificial Intelligence in Education”

The e-course Artificial Intelligence in Education is a mentored online course designed to provide educators, primarily higher education teachers, with the basic knowledge and practical skills necessary to apply artificial intelligence in educational processes. The course develops the ability to critically evaluate, select and use artificial intelligence (AI) tools and systems in education, with special emphasis on personalising learning, differentiating teaching content and encouraging active student participation. It also explores how these AI tools and systems can improve the planning, implementation and evaluation of teaching, stimulate creativity and support an individualised approach to learning from technical, pedagogical and organisational perspectives. By analysing available AI technologies and their application methodologies, including prompt engineering as a key skill for effective use of AI tools and systems, students develop their own strategies for using AI in personalised educational practices. Special emphasis is placed on the responsible and ethical use of artificial intelligence to ensure adaptation to the changing needs of learners and the educational environment.

Number of ECTS credits: 3

Students: Primarily teachers and management staff in higher education institutions and other educational stakeholders.
