Community of Practice on Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation (COP4AI&DT)
The AI and Digital Transformation Community of Practice connects education professionals, researchers, and innovators interested in exploring, discovering, and effectively applying AI and digital tools in teaching, learning, assessment, and research.
Objectives
This platform will serve as a venue for regular (primarily online) meetings, offering participants the opportunity to:
- Share and promote compelling practices
- Discuss practical cases and test collective solutions
- Collaborate on innovative research ideas
- Build and strengthen professional interuniversity and multidisciplinary connections
Main Areas of Activity
Our meetings are designed to foster collaboration around the following focus areas:
- Application of AI tools in teaching and research
- Exchange of innovative teaching methods and assessment approaches
- Joint development of modern approaches to student-centered education
- Analysis of the responsible and ethical use of artificial intelligence in education
Who can apply?
- TEACHERS (practitioners): Educators from schools, colleges, and universities who aim to integrate artificial intelligence and digital tools into their teaching. They bring classroom experience, pedagogical knowledge, and practical insight into how new technologies can transform learning.
- RESEARCHERS: Scholars investigating innovative pedagogy, AI in education, or the impact of digital technologies on teaching and learning. They contribute evidence-based findings, new models, and experimental approaches to improve education. This also includes researchers who want to make their own research practices more efficient by using AI-powered tools for data analysis, literature management, academic writing, and collaboration.
- EDUCATION ADMINISTRATORS: School leaders, university administrators, and education managers who oversee institutional strategies, digital transformation processes, and quality of education. They ensure that policies and practices are aligned with innovation and sustainability.
- SPECIALISTS testing tools: Professionals who pilot and evaluate new teaching and assessment tools in real learning environments. Their feedback ensures that innovative practices are practical, scalable, and responsive to learners’ needs.
- EdTech DEVELOPERS and ENTREPRENEURS: Innovators who design, develop, and distribute educational technologies, AI tools, and digital platforms. They bridge the gap between technology and pedagogy, providing solutions that respond to real challenges in education.
- POLICYMAKERS and QUALITY ASSURANCE EXPERTS: Representatives of ministries, accreditation bodies, and education agencies who develop regulations, frameworks, and standards for AI and digital technology adoption. They safeguard the balance between innovation, equity, and quality.
- INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNERS: Experts who integrate AI and digital tools into course design, curricula, and learning resources. They craft learner-centered experiences, blending innovative pedagogies with emerging technologies.
- PhD STUDENTS or early-career educators: Emerging professionals who bring fresh perspectives, research insights, and innovative approaches. They are also eager to integrate AI tools and digital transformation practices into their teaching, learning, and research.
- INDUSTRY PARTNERS: Representatives of companies and organizations working at the intersection of AI, skills, and workforce needs. They contribute by aligning education with labor market demands and are also interested in adopting AI solutions and digital transformation strategies to strengthen collaboration with academia.
