This training session is part of the NISHATI seminar series on Active Learning and examines the evolving role of artificial intelligence in education and engineering within the arti-digital era. The presentation explores how AI is reshaping the way knowledge is created, taught, and applied, with a focus on integrating digital technologies into higher education curricula.
The session discusses practical approaches to teaching with AI, curriculum innovation, and the implications of digital transformation for learning environments. Participants gain insights into how educators can adapt teaching methods, leverage intelligent tools, and prepare students for emerging technological landscapes.
This training is particularly relevant for academic staff, researchers, curriculum developers, and education leaders interested in digitalization, artificial intelligence, and future-oriented teaching practices.
