Improving teaching skills

The use of new training materials, such as the Internet, videos and CD-Roms, is of significant importance to the quality of education. Teaching material can easily be updated and it supports teachers to transfer knowledge in a more understandable way”, explains Olaf Erz, Country Manager Zambia of IICD. “Further, through the e-learning tool of Atos Origin Learning Solutions more local partners can be trained and supported to monitor and evaluate the process of their projects.”

Retentie en AI

Helma van den Berg van Let's Learn! beluisterde de bijdrage van Jeanne Bakker aan de podcastserie BrainBakery. Bakker vertelde over de bedreiging en kansen die we nu en in de toekomst van AI kunnen verwachten. In de podcast sprak zij haar verwachtingen uit voor de toekomst van AI in leren. Helma is het met haar eens. Zoals de gedachte om AI voor gepersonaliseerd leren te gebruiken.
