Objectives of WA6 “Teaching Competence Development”

To scale-up and scale-out education in AI, and related transformative technologies, it is necessary to broaden and deepen the knowledge in these topics among our university teachers and staff. This will enable teachers so they can teach about this in their own courses. WASP-ED will work to increase the competence about AI and teaching about AI among teachers and staff at universities.

To share best practices and further increase the teaching competence, WASP-ED will also work towards establishing a national community around education in AI and related transformative technologies based on existing initiatives such AI Competence. It is important for teachers and people responsible for the relevant education to meet regularly to learn from each other and to discuss common challenges.
