Extended education

Intelligere: visual recognition as a learning support

The etymology of the term “intelligence,” derived from the Latin “intelligere,” found in major European languages is related to two elements: “inter” meaning “between” or “among,” and “legĕre” meaning “to choose” or “to read.” Specifically, “inter” indicates the action of choosing among several possibilities, of distinguishing between different things or ideas; “legĕre” means either “to…

AI-supported incremental teaching applied to extended reality

Extended reality, consisting of virtual reality and artificial intelligence, is increasingly identified as an effective educational technology because of its immersive and experiential nature. Immersive environments actualize the Ciceronian technique of loci, which organized knowledge into memory palaces in which “imagines agentes,” active (today we would say interactive) images effective for a mnemotechnical purpose, were…

Didactics and Artificial Intelligence

The rapid spread of chatGPT has immediately impacted the school world, which must equip itself to deal with it; students’ use of this artificial intelligence model not only complicates the activities of testing their personal knowledge and skills, but also can cause inhibition of intellectual activities and demotivation to study. The European Union’s AI ACT…

Solutions for technical education and new professions

We will enter the topic of new teaching methodologies, analyzing some possible solutions, some already in use in technical and vocational colleges. The laboratories of the new professions recently implemented in many schools, involve the study and use of specialized AI solutions for specific industries, are particularly suitable for vocational schools and even vocational universities….

The teaching methodology of Innovation Design

Innovation Design is an effective methodology, also applicable in education, created to support companies and institutions in developing visions of the future, designing innovative solutions and developing opportunities. The Innovation Design method involves several aspects: Artificial intelligence is a very suitable tool for the development of advanced educational projects, such as testing new AI tools…

The teaching methodology of workplace simulation

The Workplace Simulation teaching methodology involves the digital reproduction of work environments and processes, within which virtual experiences are created that simulate, by reproducing them, real situations, both in visual and parametric form. The school’s interaction with companies in the area makes it possible to create Workplace Simulation content also through 3D footage taken in…

Solutions for critical thinking

The Vatican note “Antiqua Et Nova” states, “Education in the use of forms of artificial intelligence should aim above all to promote critical thinking. It is necessary that users of all ages, but especially young people, develop a capacity for discernment in the use of data and content collected on the web or produced by…

The educational exploitation of original sources

Artificial intelligence can be used to select authentic sources, organize them, synthesize them, and adapt them for educational use. In this case we are talking about human-created content, which, however, is not always easy to locate and find in the informational chaos of the web: speed and the ability to process huge masses of data…

Designing the future with AI

Platforms that leverage predictive AI to support complex creative processes, such as the ideation of startups or the formulation of evolutionary scenarios for companies, are being rapidly consolidated. They are suitable for humanities schools to universities, but also as end tools that can be used directly in companies. They are AI tools of intellectual empowerment,…

Chat-bots as artificial tutors

Artificial tutors are technological solutions that mimic teachers through chat-bots, even using synthetic figures. In some schools that have already marginalized lecturers through video in distance learning and on-demand courses, these systems will be adopted to replace video, using avatars that simulate real professors. Virtual representations of teachers will take hold in the world of…
