Bled, Slovenia

About

EdTech seminar is intended to help educators raise the quality of their technology-driven performance, as well as navigating in online or hybrid environment.

In the current age and time, it is clear that universities must assess the lasting impacts of digital transformation in teaching and learning. Therefore, a number of short-term and medium-term challenges arise for university leaders, administrators, and faculty.

At CEEMAN, we constantly monitor the dynamic evolution of university needs and best practices from one year to the next and adapt our seminars accordingly. Therefore, the next EdTech seminar will not be a replay of the previous editions, but a revamped program targeting specifically the current challenges and those immediately ahead of us. What remains constant is the program’s focus on interactivity and co-creation, and practical hands-on format with tangible and immediate application.

This two-day seminar is for faculty members, program directors, deans, and staff who support teaching and learning at business schools and universities. It is interactive and practical: participants debate key issues and practice with concrete use cases in teaching, research, and administration. The seminar is designed for beginners and experienced AI users alike. No technical background is needed.

What makes EdTech unique?

  • High degree of customization and flexibility responding to specific participant needs and challenges
  • Continuously shifting gears from general discussions to specific problem solving
  • Focus on interactivity and co-creation 
  • High degree of participation and contribution to class and small group discussions is expected from all participants in order to receive the certificate of completion
  • Certificate of completion adding points towards professional development (eligible for Erasmus staff mobility/training)
  • Positive and supportive learning environment 
  • EdTech faculty team fully engaged throughout the program, complementing each other’s experience and being accessible for individual advice
  • Highly professional and friendly support of the CEEMAN team – we are here for YOU!

Learning outcomes:
At the end of the seminar, participants will be able to:
  • explain how generative AI and AI agents work;
  • assess the disruptive effects of AI on business schools, and identify the strategic questions these raise for their own school;
  • use AI in a variety of academic and administrative tasks;
  • design a policy for students' use of AI in courses and assessments, based on current best practice.
