“AI compact – crash course for teachers and learners”
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing our everyday lives – and it doesn't stop at the classroom door. But what exactly can AI do? How can it be used effectively in everyday school life? How can AI be used effectively in everyday learning? And what do learners expect from it?
You will receive a compact and practical overview of the topic of AI in everyday school life:
- What AI can already do today – from text and image generation to analysis and lesson planning
- What you need to know as a teacher – opportunities, limitations, and practical applications, how AI can specifically reduce workload
- The perspective and expectations of the next generation of opticians
- Tips and examples for use in the classroom
- Performance measurement and AI
The aim is to give you a quick overview of how you can use AI as a tool for your everyday school life in a targeted and effective way.
No prior knowledge is necessary – just an openness to new ideas!
