The recent raise of conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications such as ChatGPT is raising questions among educators and education leaders: how to deal with AI-related plagiarism? Should these tools be banned from schools? Is it possible to integrate them safely and effectively in teaching settings? How to build critical knowledge on AI systems among educators, to make sure that the management of educational data is secure, privacy-proof and used for the common good?

AI tools can potentially enhance teaching, learning and assessment, but at the same time they must be handled with care, to avoid harmful consequences.

The webinar will focus on the concept of Ethical AI, that is the development, deployment and use of AI that ensures compliance with ethical norms, principles and core values. Specifically, the recent “Ethical guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence and data in teaching and learning for educators” by the European Commission will be presented and illustrated with practical examples.  

At the end of the webinar, an open session will take place to collect ideas from the members of the ETF Community of Innovative Educators on new activities to be developed within the community.

Digital credentials are an emerging phenomenon all over the world, that can capture, recognise and validate a broader range of learning outcomes than traditional certification schemes, saving time and money for certificate issuers, retaining control over the validity of credentials and increasing visibility of skills. But: is this relevant for educators, and how?

The European Commission has recently launched its Europass Digital Credential Issuer, a free‑of‑charge web-app that allows credential-awarding bodies to prepare and issue degrees, diplomas or other learning credentials to learners in the form of European Digital Credentials for Learning.

Open Badges are a widely adopted type of digital credentials, that contain verifiable metadata about achievements according to a common data format and are presented as visual symbols of accomplishment. In 2023, the ETF Community of Innovative Educators will start issuing Open Badges to recognise the achievement of those members who submitted a teaching innovation practice and who have been particularly active in the community. During the webinar, the first set of ETF Open Badges will be showcased.

At the end of the webinar, an open session will take place to collect ideas from the community members on new activities to be developed within the community.

On the Agenda: 

➡️ The digital credentials revolution: why is it important for educators? Anthony Camilleri, KIC

➡️ The European Commission strategy for digital credentials, Koen Nomden, European Commission (TBC)

➡️ Open Badges at work: get your badge through the ETF Community of Innovative Educators, Simone Ravaioli 

➡️ How to implement micro and open credentials in daily work of schools, Questions and Answers session – moderated by Fabio Nascimbeni, ETF

➡️ Co-creation session 

The event will take place online on the Zoom platform and will be delivered in English, Russian and Arabic.
