DigiMedia PhD student at the Viseu Educa Forum

The DigiMedia PhD student, Anabela Brandão, took part in the X Viseu Educa Forum to present the results of a literature review carried out as part of the thesis project “Adoption of tools with artificial intelligence in education: a study of the impact on teachers and students”, of her doctorate in Multimedia in Education. Anabela presented in the panel “AI at the service of learning”, in this Forum organized by the Viseu City Council and the Training Center of the Viseu Schools Association.

This presentation addressed the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in an educational context, which raises multiple questions for primary and secondary school teachers. Teachers should understand AI, reflect on the ethical issues raised by these tools in an educational context and find appropriate strategies that allow them to use these tools in a way that is not only ethical and safe, but also, with pedagogical value for teaching and learning processes. Anabela Brandão hopes to have contributed to the reflections of the audience.
