Description: The transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) spans across different sectors, including education. A high performing digital education ecosystem will increasingly include the use of AI at all levels including for teaching and learning. For Adult Education and VET teachers and trainers there are many possible uses of AI including new opportunities for adapting learning content based on student’s needs, new processes for assessment, analysing possible bottlenecks in learners’ domain understanding and improvement in guidance for learners. Since increasing our knowledge and understanding of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its ethical educational deployment becomes more and more important, experts and researchers will share insights and results (in relation to the AIPioneers project) regarding the issues of capacity, both systemic and institutional, through working with teachers and trainers, educational planners, stakeholders, and policy makers in Adult Education and VET.

Description: Increasing online learning possibilities are also challenges for teachers in HE in terms of transparent assessment. Introduction of micro-credentials is also closely related to certain assessment procedures that need to be implemented for transparent implementation. New open and free training courses are available to support HE teachers and HE institutions to design and implement transparent assessment for online learning and recognition of learning outcomes by proposing methodology, guidelines, practical tools and training material to develop their digital competences. The guidelines for HE institutions to implement transparent assessment of learning outcomes for online and blended learning, leading to digital and micro-credentials will be presented.

Description: Renewable assignments, unlike disposable assignments, are “assignments which both support an individual student’s learning and result in new or improved open educational resources that provide a lasting benefit to the broader community of learners” (Wiley & Hilton, 2018). This webinar will introduce the concept of renewable assignment and various experiences with assignments in higher education that go beyond disposable assignments, in a continuum that ends with renewable assignments as openly licensed student-created OER. The presentations will be followed by Q+A and discussion. Find more information, here.

Description: The QUEST Project – Qualifying for the Ultimate Engaging Smart Training, is a project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme, in the scope of Key Action 2 – Strategic Partnerships in Vocation Education and Training. It is a partnership of six organisations from five European countries: ISQe (Portugal), IADE (Portugal), University of Turku (Finland), Future in Perspective (Ireland), EFCoCert Foundation (Switzerland) and EDEN DLE (Estonia). Jointly, project has undertaken the task of developing the European Instructional Designer Professional Profile, the respective qualification, and Recognition of Prior Learning process for this profile, along with other relevant products. The webinar intends to present the outcomes of the project describing the Elearning Instructional Designer (EIDe) competence framework in terms of knowledge, skills and attitudes developed in the implementation. This is denominated the EIDe professional profile translated into a competence matrix for European Qualification Framework level 6 in terms of a set of Learning Outcomes per Competence Unit.It is also planned to present the online courses created during the project. It is an European Instructional Designer eLearning program with respective pedagogical architecture, training methodology and interactive training materials supported by an Artificial Intelligence tutor bot. Session will be filled by 15 minutes for the professional profile and curriculum and by 15 minutes for the existing online courses and micro-credentials. Rest of the webinar will be spent on discussion and debating the existing materials. Find more information, here.
