Generative AI and Transformative Educational Content

Course overview

This cutting-edge 5-day course is designed to empower educators with the knowledge and skills to harness the power of generative AI for creating transformative educational content. Participants will explore the latest advancements in generative AI technologies, including text, image, audio, and video generation, and learn how to leverage these tools to enhance teaching and learning experiences.

The course will delve into the principles and applications of generative AI, providing participants with a solid understanding of the underlying technologies and their potential impact on education. Participants will learn how to generate text-based content, such as lesson plans, educational materials, and assessments, using advanced language models like ChatGPT.

Emphasis will be placed on the creation of visual content, including images and videos, using generative AI models like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E. Participants will learn how to generate engaging visuals, animations, and multimedia resources that can captivate students and facilitate better understanding of complex concepts.

The course will also explore the generation of audio content, such as educational podcasts, audio lessons, and interactive audio experiences, using generative AI models. Participants will learn how to create immersive and engaging audio content that can cater to diverse learning styles and preferences.

To enhance the learning experience and provide a cultural context, the course will incorporate a guided cultural visit within Čakovec and Međimurje County. This visit will allow participants to explore local heritage sites, sustainable initiatives, or eco-conscious organizations, drawing inspiration and practical examples for integrating cultural elements and sustainable practices into their generative AI-powered educational content.
