The LEADER-AI Project: LEAarning analytics and AI for personaliseD lEaRning – April 2024

Implementation of the LeaderAI training course for HE teachers

After nine different real-case scenarios have been developed for diverse fields/disciplines in HEIs, regarding hands-on opportunities for HE teaching staff to learn how to personalise their instruction through open source/freeware AI-based and data visualisation tools that do not require highly specialised computer skills such as programming, and after the Train-the-Trainer activity was implemented in March with two different trainers from each partner university, in April 2024 the LeaderAI consortium started implementing a 16-hour training course addressed to HE teachers. The trainers in this course were the persons who previously completed the Train-the-Trainer activity. They taught peer teachers from their universities on how to efficiently use the AI-based tools to personalise the learning of their students, by using the nine LeaderAI real-case scenarios. This training course envisaged the following specific objectives:

develop HE teaching staffs’ pedagogic and digital skills on how to use selected AI-based and data visualisation tools for personalised teaching and support
prepare educators to adopt and adapt the project resources in their course practices
raise awareness on the ethical implications of using AI-based and analytics tools for teaching and learning

The course was implemented in a blended learning approach, with duration of 3-4 days, according to participants availability. Over 120 HE teachers have completed the course in the partner countries: Cyprus, Greece, Estonia, Romania and Portugal. The combination of face-to-face and online activities, and the instructor-led delivery method complemented with self-learning activities, proved to be successful, as the feedback from participants was highly positive. Pre/post-tests have been administered to participants, based on which how their perception and confidence on using AI-based tools to personalise learning has changed, could be measured and analysed. Currently, the universities members of the LeaderAI consortium are preparing training reports, which will provide more in-depth image on the training itself and on its acquired results.
