The AI-PBL course is designed to empower Erasmus+ school education teachers, including lower secondary, upper secondary, vocational, and adult education instructors, with the knowledge and skills to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Project-Based Learning (PBL) environments. This innovative course offers a dynamic and hands-on approach to explore the seamless integration of AI concepts and techniques into project-based educational activities.
Artificial Intelligence has become an integral part of our modern world, impacting various industries and sectors, including education. As educators, understanding the potential of AI and harnessing its capabilities can lead to more engaging and personalized learning experiences for students. This course aims to equip teachers from diverse educational backgrounds with the necessary tools and strategies to effectively leverage AI technologies in PBL settings, fostering creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills among their students.
As a core element of the course, participants will delve into ethical considerations surrounding AI integration in education. Teachers will explore the responsible and ethical use of AI technologies, encouraging students to become critical thinkers who question AI biases and understand the implications of AI-driven decisions. By promoting digital citizenship and data privacy awareness, educators will instill essential digital competencies that empower students to navigate the ever-evolving digital landscape responsibly.
By the end of the AI-PBL course, Erasmus+ school education teachers, spanning lower secondary, upper secondary, vocational, and adult education levels, will be equipped with the confidence and competence to integrate AI concepts seamlessly into their project-based learning environments. Participants will be prepared to inspire their diverse groups of students, cultivating a generation of learners who are well-versed in AI and prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the digital age.
