Enhancing Teaching Capabilities with Generative Text Artificial Intelligence

A course by Luisa Eugenia Reyes Recio
Internal training for URJC teaching and research staff

Description

In this course, we will explore the use of artificial intelligence tools to support teacher development. We will examine how artificial intelligence can become a key ally in teaching, from lesson planning and student performance assessment to its application in active teaching and learning methodologies. Furthermore, we will address how these technologies can help personalize education, adapting to the unique needs of each student and providing innovative educational resources.
The course presents, in a general way and with explanatory videos and demonstrations, the use of the most widely used tools by the teaching community, with special emphasis on the use of Microsoft tools and the integration of Copilot within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem to increase productivity.
