About the AI for Teachers Certification Course:
IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation has announced the launch of its new "AI for Teachers" Certification Course, starting from 1st February. This program is aimed at equipping educators with essential skills to effectively integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into classroom teaching and learning.
Course Highlights:
The AI for K12 Teachers course will provide participants with hands-on exposure to AI-driven teaching tools and practical strategies for using AI in day-to-day classroom contexts.
Key Learning Outcomes:
Explain the role of AI in modern education.
Apply AI tools to enhance pedagogy and teacher productivity.
Use AI for interactive student engagement and visualization.
Employ AI-enabled assessment and grading tools.
Integrate AI into subject-specific teaching contexts.
Implement inclusive AI strategies for diverse learners.
Conduct AI-enhanced online and blended learning sessions.
Design and present AI-powered teaching resources.
Course Structure and Assessment:
The program includes an introductory session and eight modules covering topics such as Generative AI tools, prompt engineering, gamification, storytelling, AI-based lesson planning, student engagement tools like AR/VR and visualization, AI-enabled assessment methods, subject-specific use cases, inclusive education strategies, and online teaching platforms.
A post-course assessment will be conducted in the form of an MCQ-based virtual proctored exam, administered by IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation. Participants who complete the assessment will receive a certificate issued by IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation.
Eligibility and Fees:
Teachers from rural schools.
Language: English.
Course Fee: Free.
Duration: 40 hours.
Assessment Mode: Virtual, Proctored.
Certification Fee: Free for the first 500 teachers from rural schools who complete the training.
Faculties: The course consists of 40 hours of self-paced recorded videos delivered by faculty members from the IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation ecosystem.
We request all K12 teachers to make use of this opportunity.
AI is rapidly reshaping the future of education. Through this program, we aim to empower teachers with practical AI tools and pedagogical strategies that enhance classroom effectiveness and student engagement. This course will help educators become future-ready and confident in adopting AI responsibly, said a spokesperson from IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation.
