AI and Internet - improve your study skills

Topic

The Internet has been with us for decades. We use it in learning too – both schools and students. It is now clear that the many, many minor and major changes can be divided into at least 3 ‘eras’ of development (We will see these in the course.) The latest, the daily use of artificial intelligence (AI), is a truly ‘revolutionary’ change.
The development is so fast that compared to the preliminary contents and topics, we will also deal with the – even newer, more efficient – opportunities that have appeared in the meantime.

The main goal of the course is to present the tools of today’s Internet use for improving the learning practice – and effectiveness – of students.
Many ‘doubts’ are also expressed about the possible dangers of Internet use – this will also be discussed – however, our main goal is to present the opportunities and good practices, and to encourage their conscious use.
It helps to develop / use cooperation and teamwork. Furthermore, we will experience the new quality of learning that can be achieved by using AI – to improve the effectiveness of our learning. The aim is that through these experiences and practices, not only will our knowledge increase (that too, of course!), but also our analytical and critical approach will develop.
