Phase 1: Foundations - Building AI and EdTech Competence for Educators

Background

The CITL will conduct a training session titled “Phase 1: Foundations - Building AI and EdTech Competence for Educators” on April 21, 2025 (TI Coordinators) and April 23, 2025 (All Faculty), from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This initiative aims to equip faculty members with the necessary knowledge and practical skills in artificial intelligence and educational technology into their teaching practices effectively.
