TaLAI (Teaching and Learning with Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education)

In the current era of digital transformation, higher education has a crucial role to play in equipping professionals with the necessary digital skills to manage AI responsibly. By extending existing partner networks and facilitating collaborations, the TaLAI (Teaching and Learning with Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education) Erasmus+ project has a dual mission: Not only to benefit national communities, but also to contribute to the advancement of innovation in teaching and learning at the European level. The initiative provides academic teachers with the opportunity to enhance their AI skills and competences, ultimately impacting on various aspects of societal life through the implementation of novel teaching methods.

Aims & objectives

The main objective is to lead the way in introducing innovative pedagogical approaches that integrate AI in higher education in an ethical way. It aims to empower both educators and students in developing AI literacy and competence.

To achieve this objective, the consortium will develop:

• The digital TaLAI Platform, which includes:
  • Guiding rules and principles of an ethical AI application in higher education.
  • Digital storytelling by academics about the ethical use of AI in teaching and learning.
  • Recommendations for written assignments and their assessment in higher education.
  • Mapping the instructional design and pedagogical approaches with AI in higher education.
  • A discussion forum and practical suggestions, addressing the ethical issues associated with AI in higher education.
• The TaLAI Online Course (MOOC) to further develop digital literacy skills and capacities of academic teachers to ethically apply AI in their teaching practice.
• The TaLAI policy recommendations for assessment in times of AI in higher education.
