The five-day training program comprises 40 hours of AI-focused sessions and brings together faculty members teaching relevant subjects. Participants will explore the fundamentals and principles of AI, international approaches to AI literacy, and key categories of AI tools.
Practical sessions will focus on the core principles of AI use, prompt engineering for teaching, AI-assisted lesson planning, and the development of educational content using AI.
