Dr. Nicole Flindt will train you how to create brain stimulating online courses using proven online didactical methodology (Flindt 2020 based on Hanke 2020). A methodology carved by Heidelberg University of Education, Vilnius University. Together with Nicole, your fellows and facilitators you will build your own online course content.
Good Online Learning tools do not imply good content and a good presentation of the content. Nicole will teach the approach of a the e-VELP project funded by the European Union to create brain-stimulating Online Learning content which combines elements from classic didactics with elements from neurodidactics and aims to add value to Online Learning.
Because brain-stimulating Online Learning content could bring more value to Online Learning content.

Nele will show you how to get confidence in understanding AI and on how to integrate AI tools into your education and youth work.
Countless e-learning programs have been developed over the last few years. Learning opportunities supported by technology have become widespread in educational contexts, and many people rely on the Internet to continue their education in personal, professional, or school contexts. Findings indicate that recently developed e-learning programs are built on modern digital tools but need more purposeful content and a different focus than traditional learning scenarios. These observations raise whether online learning features are optimal extensions to traditional in-person, in-class teaching. This session focuses on how to optimize an e-learning program with the help of AI tools.

Agenda Day 2 | 9 AM - 4 PM

• Workgroup: Prepare a questionnaire and rule-mapping-table that fits your project
• Feedback Day 2

Miganoush will show you how to use an AI-based open source tool into your online content to create a personalised learning experience (Flindt and Rohde 2023). This session focuses on how to optimize an e-learning program with the development of a query builder based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) that leverages the know-how of pedagogical experts to incorporate pedagogical learning methods effectively. For this reason, different definitions of e-learning and traditional learning theories, e.g., behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and connectivism, will be analyzed to help derive theory ideas for an EU-funded project called “Young Refugees AI Student Empowerment Program.” We will show technical results of implementation integrated into the project and show you how you can implement this tool yourself to create personalized learning content.
