ENCORE Final Blended Conference: AI in Education: What’s the Point?

📅 Date & Time: Thursday, May 8 · 14:00 PM – 17:00 PM CEST
🌍 Format: Blended – University of Pisa, School of Engineering, L.go Lucio Lazzarino, 1, Pisa, Italy & Online via Zoom

Join us for the final conference of the ENCORE (ENriching Circular use of OeR for Education) project. We will show how generative AI and open educational resources (OER) can help educators design engaging lessons and teach the modern skills needed in today’s world. Our partners will share experiences and best preactices for creating lessons using AI-driven tools, reusing OER, and recognizing learning achievements through micro-credentials. It’s also a great change to connect with peers – teachers, researchers, and industry professionals- who want to keep improving education across Europe.

📅 The ENCORE Effect: Amplify Learnign through the combination of AI and OER – 5 December 2024, 15.00-18.00 Online

This is the external pilot for adopting the ENCORE model in education. A 3-hour webinar was organised by Professor Raffaghelli and Dr. Crudele on December 5 from 15:00 to 18:00.
The external pilot was conducted with faculty, researchers, and diverse figures from different teaching areas to explore possible declinations of the potential of the ENCORE platform.
The pilot was based on the materials shared and co-constructed with the other ENCORE partners. After a presentation of the OER-based approach and the characteristics of the ENCORE project, the implications of building a learning scenario and all the solutions and facilitations offered by the ENCORE platform were investigated. An interactive feedback exchange was held where participants could offer their views on the effectiveness, intention to use, and usefulness of the platform for their professional activities.
The cue on Open Recognition and Open Badges was an opportunity to reflect on today’s updates in skills development and recognition.
 
All the material will greatly enrich the self-paced space that UNIPD will set up on Moodle.
 

📅 1 and 3 October 2024, 13.00-14.00 and 2 October 13.30-14.30 CEST, Online

Webinar Week Highlights:
ENCORE is dedicated to addressing the key trends shaping education today—digitalization, climate change, and post-COVID economic recovery. Our goal is to support educators in enhancing their teaching and recognition skills through innovative approaches.
🛠️ What was on the Agenda:
– ENCORE Platform Launch: Explore our platform designed to reuse Open Educational Resources (OER) for optimized teaching and learning design.
– From Open Educational Resources (OER) to Open Recognition in Education (ORE): the ENCORE exploration of Open Badges

– Skills Intelligence using Artificial Intelligence
 

26 February 2024- Unlocking the Future of Education – Your Ally for Green, Digital, and Entrepreneurial Learning.

In a post-pandemic scenario, transitioning to a society that embraces technological innovation, creativity and careful consideration of human and environmental sustainability is a concern for the EU region. How can education support such an endeavor? Inclusive and quality education is called into question; however, education professionals need to reflect and experiment to ensure the best, possible ways. In this session, we discuss several educators experiences and ideas after trying the ENCORE, an AI-driven system, as an ally in their search to promote DGE skills.
