Collaborative Design of AI-Enhanced Learning Activities
This addresses the problem of AI literacy and integration in education for educators and EdTech professionals, but it is incremental as it builds on existing technology-enhanced learning approaches.
The paper tackled the need for educators to develop AI literacy and integrate AI into teaching by creating a formative intervention for preservice teachers, in-service teachers, and EdTech specialists, resulting in enhanced understanding and collaborative design of AI-enhanced educational activities.
Artificial intelligence has accelerated innovations in different aspects of citizens' lives. Many contexts have already addressed technology-enhanced learning, but educators at different educational levels now need to develop AI literacy and the ability to integrate appropriate AI usage into their teaching. We take into account this objective, along with the creative learning design, to create a formative intervention that enables preservice teachers, in-service teachers, and EdTech specialists to effectively incorporate AI into their teaching practices. We developed the formative intervention with Terra Numerica and Maison de l'Intelligence Artificielle in two phases in order to enhance their understanding of AI and foster its creative application in learning design. Participants reflect on AI's potential in teaching and learning by exploring different activities that can integrate AI literacy in education, including its ethical considerations and potential for innovative pedagogy. The approach emphasises not only acculturating professionals to AI but also empowering them to collaboratively design AI-enhanced educational activities that promote learner engagement and personalised learning experiences. Through this process, participants in the workshops develop the skills and mindset necessary to effectively leverage AI while maintaining a critical awareness of its implications in education.
