The enthusiasts on the other side of the spectrum may dive in too quickly, without considering the potential challenges those recent advancements risk bringing along. &nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/itec.kuleuven-kulak.be\/online-training-on-ai-in-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">itec\u2019s free online course on \u2018AI in Education\u2019<\/a>, you will explore how to realistically make use of AI in your educational context. Substantiated with recent research insights, the course will help you understand what lies behind AI systems and provide you with lots of tips &amp; tricks to concretely implement AI applications that can complement your human intelligence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the course, we will cover four key topics:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>Exploring the relationship between AI and education: <\/strong>We explain the broad spectrum of AI and its applications, viewed from a pedagogical perspective. Additionally, we provide a brief overview of the history of AI in education, emphasizing the differences between \u2018Good Old-Fashioned Artificial Intelligence\u2019 and \u2018Machine Learning\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.<strong>&nbsp;The black box of AI:<\/strong>&nbsp; We\u2019ll explore which data types are typically collected in AI tools and how they each contribute to adaptive learning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Challenges of AI in education:<\/strong>&nbsp;We discuss three types of challenges (technical, ethical, and implementation) related to \u2018AI in education\u2019,&nbsp;while also considering various stakeholders within a complex educational network.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <strong>Tinkering with AI in education:<\/strong>&nbsp;We explore how to best navigate AI trends and hypes, with specific attention to education. We delve into various perspectives, examine how AI can enhance education, and serve as a&nbsp;useful&nbsp;tool for teachers and students. We conclude with practical guidelines and insights for&nbsp;a&nbsp;responsible and meaningful integration of AI in education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Course duration:<\/strong>&nbsp;5 to 7 hours&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Target audience:<\/strong>&nbsp;This online course is intended for anyone interested in AI in education, whether you are a student, teacher, EdTech enthusiast, educational policymaker, or simply curious about the impact of AI in the classroom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you ready for a digital transformation that brings out the best in each and every learner? <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfmWfJcbww_kupjXR_kFYVeYG5_pRv7ZBBAeD6jDbpYtixw9w\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Preregister for our course now!&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Authors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:38% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"454\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2023\/12\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30128 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2023\/12\/image-3.png 454w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2023\/12\/image-3-300x241.png 300w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2023\/12\/image-3-370x297.png 370w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2023\/12\/image-3-270x217.png 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Rani Van Schoors,<\/strong> developer&nbsp;of the online training, linked to <a href=\"https:\/\/itec.kuleuven-kulak.be\/\">research group itec<\/a>, KU Leuven, Belgium.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:22% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"541\" height=\"1019\" src=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2023\/12\/ann.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30129 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2023\/12\/ann.jpg 541w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2023\/12\/ann-159x300.jpg 159w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2023\/12\/ann-370x697.jpg 370w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2023\/12\/ann-270x509.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Ann Fastr\u00e9, <\/strong>developer&nbsp;of the online training, linked to <a href=\"https:\/\/itec.kuleuven-kulak.be\/\">research group itec<\/a>, KU Leuven, Belgium.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Rani Van Schoors &amp; Ann Fastr\u00e9, KU Leuven, Belgium.
