C8628 - LABORATORIO DI SPECIALIZZAZIONE PROFESSIONALE PER IL LAVORO E LE ORGANIZZAZIONI (G.A2)

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the laboratory, students will be able to:

• apply the specific methods and techniques acquired independently and within educational or organizational projects promoted by institutions;
• collaborate with and discuss with other professionals the appropriate use and documentation of the methods and techniques learned;
• adapt and apply the acquired knowledge across different educational, training, and service contexts;
• critically evaluate the strengths, limitations, and suitability of the digital tools and technologies explored during the laboratory;
• transfer and adapt the technologies and approaches learned to diverse contexts, integrating them with their own ideas and innovative solutions

Course contents

The integration of digital technologies into educational and training contexts has become a strategic challenge that requires careful planning and effective management within organizations.

In this context, education professionals are expected to develop digital competences that go beyond the mere technical use of hardware and software tools. These competences should be grounded in sound pedagogical and instructional principles, ensuring that technologies are employed critically, purposefully, and in alignment with educational objectives.

From this perspective, the principles of Open Education and Open Educational Resources (OER) provide a fundamental framework for educational design. Accessibility, reusability, adaptability, and sharing are not only core values but also practical design principles that guide the development of learning environments, the selection of teaching strategies, and the creation of open educational resources.

The laboratory aims to develop participants' competences in designing digital learning environments and creating open educational resources. It also includes an introduction to Cooperative AI, an emerging paradigm that explores how artificial intelligence systems can be designed and used to foster collaboration, support collective intelligence, and promote active participation in educational and training settings.
