M1 - Upgrading assessment harnessing the potentials of Learning Design and AI
To ensure valid assessment, it is important to align it with the intended learning outcomes, and teaching and learning activities. Developing assessment programs is a part of learning design, which can be supported by the Balanced Learning Design Planning (BDP) concept and the accompanying free of charge collaborative online tool (https://learning-design.eu). The tool offers design analytics which can support educators in the meaningful planning of assessment, including incorporating AI.
The workshop will be organised in two parts. The first part will present an introduction to learning design, valid and reliable assessment planning, challenges of AI in assessment, and an open discussion around these topics. In the second part, participants will be presented with the BDP tool and given an opportunity to work on learning designs, minding the principles of ensuring valid and reliable assessment, and ethical use of AI.
Learning outcomes:
- Redesign assessment programs based on constructive alignment with intended learning outcomes.
- Use a learning design concept and tool to construct valid and reliable assessment.
- Develop assessment in AI-enriched learning environments in higher education.
Intended audience: Higher education (Educators, educational decision-makers, learning designers, curriculum developers, quality assurance experts, researchers)
M2 - Empowering educators and students: an introduction to Artificial Intelligence in the classroom

W2 - From board to web: connecting electronics to online learning
Open-source hardware platform allows students to design interactive electronic projects and connect them to online learning experiences.
We begin with a demonstration of building a simple circuit and explain core concepts like inputs, outputs, and coding syntax. And then we move to more advanced projects that link physical devices to digital content. For example, code a circuit with a temperature sensor and have it trigger/display online learning assets about weather or best ambient conditions when certain thresholds are met.
Next, projects that collect analog sensor data and upload it to a cloud database or learning management system for analysis, visualisation, and data-driven lessons. We explore patterns over time.
Meanwhile, we discuss how boards and sensors are meaningful to gain hands-on experience with core STEAM concepts like circuits, coding, and data collection authentically and creatively. They open doors for personalised, project-based blended learning models. Projects are interactive, motivate learning, and link the physical world to online platforms.
The audience will be able to try a sample mini-project, ask questions, and discuss ways to incorporate these ideas into their own classrooms or maker spaces. Emphasise how Arduino The goal is to inspire educators to think of new ways hands-on circuits and electronics can enhance online instruction when paired with platforms like Arduino. Focus on engagement, real-world applications, and bridging the digital-physical divide.
Learning outcomes:
- Understand how open-source hardware platforms can be used to design interactive electronic projects and connect them to online learning experiences.
- Learn techniques for building simple circuits with inputs and outputs and connecting them to data collection and online content through coding and programming.
- Experience sample project ideas that integrate open-source hardware, sensors and programming to teach STEAM concepts in an authentic, hands-on manner like exploring weather patterns over time.
- Acquire strategies for developing personalised, blended learning models that bridge the physical-digital divide through hands-on circuits and data-driven online exercises.
- Discuss approaches for incorporating open-source hardware into classroom activities and maker spaces to enhance student engagement, and motivation and link real-world applications to online instruction.
The outcomes focus on both technical skills and pedagogical strategies, with an emphasis on interactive, authentic learning through open-source hardware across online and physical domains.
Intended audience: Schools educators, active or with a keen interest in teaching STEAM/STEM subjects
