Objectives
The course explores the impact and role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. Students will learn how to integrate AI tools into teaching practices effectively. Emphasis is placed on understanding both the opportunities and challenges AI presents in the educational context, preparing future educators to use intelligent technologies in a pedagogically sound and responsible manner.

Teaching methodology
The course uses modern, active learning methods that enable students to gain hands-on experience with generative AI tools. It is based on project-based learning, case study analysis, and collaborative group work. Students engage in the development and experimentation of educational applications using generative AI, followed by reflective evaluation. The methodology includes elements of blended learning and online collaborative activities.
