We have had a busy first trimester at the Centre for Teaching Excellence as the Digital Education and AI Hub, working with our cohort of Teacher Associates to inform research questions around AI and learning and delivering professional learning workshops for teachers in Scotland.
Throughout the past months, we delivered a variety of professional learning events, including AI Literacy sessions for primary and secondary teachers, reaching over 500 adults, among which teachers, researchers, education leaders, policymakers, and industry professionals.
We were speakers at the Shaping the Discussion around AI in Education webinar and Children, Interaction, and Design Networking Event. We co-organised the Designing EdTech for Equity workshop in collaboration with the University of Oxford and co-hosted Professor Matti Tedre’s public lecture on Finland’s AI literacy programme Generation AI with the Centre for Research in Digital Education.
The Hub co-lead Professor Judy Robertson delivered the AI and Creativity in English online session for Education Scotland’s Literacy and English Curriculum Network. You can watch the recording here: LECN AI in Literacy and English.
We are looking forward to continuing our work to establish a professional learning community for Scottish teachers interested in developing research-informed practice in digital, data, and AI literacy.
