Call for tutors: AI4AL looks for adult educators to test its AI tools for adult learning

Why do we need Adult Learning and Education tutors?

AI-based solutions have the potential to revolutionize the provision of adult learning by facilitating improved skills assessment and personalised learning opportunities. However, despite this immense potential, AI remains largely untapped within the ALE sector. At the same time, many adult educators also express mistrust towards AI, which hampers its widespread adoption. To address this gap, the AI4AL project aims to equip adult educators with the necessary skills to confidently apply AI in ALE.

What will I get as a tutor from this project?

  • Contribute to the development and use of AI-base solutions in adult learning
  • Demystify the perceived threats posed by AI
  • Highlight the key role of teachers and educators in the adoption of assistive technologies.

Key Project Objectives and Outputs

  • Engagement Kit Development: We are crafting an Engagement Kit, which includes a Methodological Guide and an Online Scenarios Repository. This kit will provide educators with a comprehensive framework for integrating AI-based technologies into both formal and non-formal ALE settings.
  • AI4AL Matching Tool: Our project will introduce “AI4AL,” an advanced matching tool that harnesses AI to connect the assessment of basic digital skills with tailored course offerings and micro-credentials. This tool empowers adult educators to create highly personalized training solutions based on learners’ specific needs.
  • Training Opportunities: The AI4AL project will offer in-depth training to educators on using the AI4AL tool and applying AI technologies in the ALE sector. This self-paced learning path enhances educators’ skills and keeps them up-to-date with the latest AI resources and training opportunities.
