About the course

The use of digital content in education worldwide was relatively uncommon before the COVID-19 crisis started. Only 20% of countries had digital learning resources in teaching, and a mere 10 percent of countries had more robust digital learning capabilities offering some of the educational materials available outside of the classroom. Teachers need to quickly adjust their teaching methods and learning expectations, becoming digital facilitator trainer (DFT).

This course is designed for all persons willing to use the Artificial Intelligence (AI), gamification, and data analysis for the improvement of educational services.
