AI-Enhanced Differentiated Instruction

Artificial intelligence (AI) is in the process of revolutionising education as we have known it up to this point, offering powerful tools and techniques to enhance differentiated instruction. This workshop focuses on how AI can enhance differentiated instruction by helping teachers meet the diverse needs of all learners. Whether you’re working with students who need more support or those who are ready to be challenged a bit more than other students in your class, AI can help personalise learning pathways and improve engagement. Through hands-on activities and real-world examples, you’ll learn how to leverage AI to transform your classroom into a dynamic, inclusive learning environment that caters to every student's unique abilities and needs. This workshop allows attendees to explore the innovative applications of AI in education, empowering educators to design engaging, personalised, and effective learning experiences that cater to diverse student needs. Explore AI-driven tools for assessment, feedback, content creation, and personalised learning pathways, and discover how to leverage these technologies to create a truly differentiated and inclusive learning environment.

Unlike other workshops that provide a broad overview of AI in education, this one focuses specifically on how AI can enhance differentiated instruction, allowing you to meet each student's unique needs. If you’re looking for ways to personalise learning and engage diverse learners, this workshop is for you.
