Advisory board
An advisory board comprising representatives from educational institutions, public organizations and industry was established to ensure sustainability and broad acceptance of the training and certification. The advisory board accompanies the project from start to finalization.
- three annual meetings and workshops
- continuous integration and feedback
- final stakeholder workshop
Project approach
In general, the project comprised 4 stages:
Stage 1: preparation
- conducting a survey among various stakeholders from educational institutions and industry to assess educational needs of society and economy regarding AI and Robotics
- defining main learning objectives of the training curricula
- installing an advisory board comprising representatives from educational institutions, public organizations and industry to ensure sustainability and broad acceptance
Stage 2: development of the training and certification system
- deriving the main topics of each module based on the learning objectives
- developing the training system (curricula, course material) addressing both beginners and advanced teachers/students
- developing the certification system (certification questions (multiple-choice questions (MCQ) and interactive tasks) for each modules
- integrating the Training and certification systems into a unified online learning and course management system
Stage 3: train the trainers
- conducing trainings for teachers (trainers) at project partners’ institutions (face-to-vace and online)
- applying a train-the-trainer, blended learning approach
- after successfully completing the training and the certification, trainers receive an EDLRIS AI or Robotics certificate
Stage 4: train the trainees
- certified trainers act as multipliers by then training trainees (e.g. young people and school students, …)
- trainers can use training curricula and course materials developed
- trainee trainings also comprise face-to-face and online teaching units
- applying a blended learning, student centered approach
- after successfully completing the training and the certification, trainees also receive an EDLRIS AI or Robotics certificate
