Course description

Course overview and purpose:
In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming education by offering innovative solutions that enhance teaching efficiency and student learning. The course, “Teaching with AI: tools and strategies for teachers,” is specifically designed for educators who wish to understand and integrate AI tools into their teaching practices. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to AI and explores tools to support teaching, with a focus on personalised learning, student engagement, assessment and feedback, classroom management, and media creation. The specific tools covered may vary depending on participants’ needs and the educational setting, so we encourage you to enquire about the best options for your context. The course will also address the ethical considerations of using AI in education, ensuring that teachers are equipped to make informed decisions about incorporating AI into their classrooms.

Each session builds upon the previous one, ensuring a thorough understanding of how AI can be effectively employed across various educational contexts. The course will culminate in a final project, where participants will apply their learning by designing a lesson plan or classroom activity that incorporates multiple AI tools.

By the end of the course, teachers will be prepared to use AI to create dynamic, inclusive, and engaging learning environments.
