This project, which is said to be the first of its type in the nation, would provide over 80,000 secondary teachers in the state with practical training in artificial intelligence (AI). By August, instructors teaching grades 8 through 12 should have acquired AI proficiency, according to a training program run by Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) inside the general education department.
On May 2, the three-day training course will begin. It will concentrate on summarization strategies to make complicated papers like PDFs, pictures, and videos easier to understand. It will also provide brief summaries that preserve important details and even use AI tools to produce original material.
In order to produce and modify subject-specific images, turn them into cartoons or paintings, and incorporate text with the images, educators will master image generation techniques. Prompt engineering and machine learning will come next, which aid in creating exact prompts necessary for efficient use of AI tools and comprehending its programming principles, respectively, by actually implementing them.
Teachers will investigate how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to generate and customize tables, graphs, and charts that meet individual needs, as well as to produce presentations and animations through the use of data visualisation. The assessment process comes next, during which teachers will be able to create question formats and use AI techniques for evaluation.
“The program will encourage a culture of responsible AI usage while providing teachers with opportunities to identify potential risks associated with AI.” In addition to learning about algorithm bias and privacy issues, teachers would also build their own avatars as part of the training, according to K Anvar Sadath, CEO of KITE.
Each batch will consist of twenty-five teachers and two trainers who will utilize laptops and smartphones. When using AI technologies, instructors’ G-Suite accounts that KITE built for them will be used to protect their personal information.
The KITE expert committee has recommended a dynamic selection of tools, which will be incorporated into the training. It will assist educators in creating learning activities that are unique for every student and in making resources inclusive of students with disabilities.
Kerala is going to teach AI to 80,000 secondary teachers.
