Topic description
Scope:
Projects under this priority will aim to foster broader organisational readiness and capacity of education and training institutions as well as more broadly to education and training systems through:
• Identify, map and analyse existing effective initiatives and areas in teaching, learning, and assessment at any level(s) of education and training where generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are of particular use and benefit. Identify challenges as well as success factors for the deployment of generative AI.
• Develop, and pilot innovative approaches, methods, and practices of the use of generative AI systems in teaching, learning and assessment at any level(s) of education and training. Special attention should be paid to the ethical, effective, purposeful and pedagogically underpinned use of the technology.
• Produce guidelines and practical materials, as well as use cases on the critical use of generative AI systems in education and training practices that can be disseminated and easily implemented at organisational level. Those should be complemented with clear recommendations to inform further policy initiatives.
