    Erasmus KA1 Teachers' Course Title: Gamification and Game-Based Learning: Methodology and AI Tools for the Classroom

    Course Conducted by EMBT-Ireland Professional Training Unit, supported by IDESA-Europe  

    Our comprehensive course covers AI and gamification teacher training to help educators face one of the main modern educational challenges: creating dynamic learning environments that grab student’s attention.

     

    The course is suitable for all educators, and it will be adapted to their needs and school type (primary, secondary, VET etc). Gamification and game-based learning techniques have proven to be effective in increasing student engagement and learning in class. However, student’s constant exposure to technology demands the use of digital tools in class, while the teacher’s workload is increasing. This course is a valuable professional development opportunity, empowering educators to both captivate students and optimise their valuable time in the classroom.

     

    The outline includes a deep dive into gamification in education and game-based learning (GBL), exploring how these methodologies can be seamlessly integrated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and essential ICT tools for educational games.

     

    Participants will gain practical expertise in designing educational games and implementing gamification techniques to the lesson units, leading to student engagement with gamification strategies. By mastering AI-driven approaches, you will learn to reduce your teacher workload with AI tools through intelligent content creation and adaptive learning design, thus fostering a more personalised and effective learning experience for every student.
