Basic computer proficiency courses are designed for individuals who have limited experience with technology. Participants will learn fundamental skills such as navigating the web, and using basic programs.
In the ever-changing educational landscape, schools, teachers, and students face the dual challenge of integrating 21st-century skills, known as the 6Cs (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, Character, and Citizenship) and adapting to the increasing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in learning environments.
Educators are seeking effective ways to blend these essential skills with AI to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.
This course aims to equip participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively integrate the 6Cs with AI in their teaching practices.
By explaining the nuances of both the 6Cs and AI applications in education, the course will enable educators to create more dynamic, inclusive, and future-ready learning environments.
During the course, participants will engage in a variety of interactive and hands-on activities, including workshops on AI tool integration, collaborative projects emphasizing the 6Cs, and discussions on ethical considerations in AI use.
These activities are designed to provide practical experience in applying AI technologies to support the 6Cs in educational settings, fostering a comprehensive understanding of how these elements can coalesce to transform teaching and learning.
By the end of the course, participants will have acquired significant competencies in blending the 6Cs with AI to address the current educational challenges.
They will possess the skills to enhance student learning and engagement through innovative AI-integrated lesson plans and activities and be equipped to foster a learning environment that is adaptive, inclusive, and forward-thinking.
This newfound proficiency will enable educators to effectively respond to the evolving demands of the 21st-century educational landscape, ensuring their students are well-prepared for the future.
