Faculty Development Programme FDP on Artificial Intelligence for Teachers
The rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are redefining the future of education. As schools, colleges, and universities increasingly adopt digital tools, teachers must be equipped with the right skills to integrate AI into pedagogy, assessment, and research. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through a Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on Artificial Intelligence for Teachers.
Such FDPs are designed to familiarize educators with AI fundamentals, practical applications, and ethical considerations, enabling them to create future-ready classrooms.
Why AI for Teachers?
Artificial Intelligence has transitioned from being a futuristic concept to a day-to-day educational necessity. Teachers need to understand AI not just as users but as innovators, aligning with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes digital literacy and technology integration (FDP) on Artificial Intelligence for Teachers.
Objectives of the FDP
The Faculty Development Programme on Artificial Intelligence has the following goals:
- Introduce AI Fundamentals: Machine learning, natural language processing, and data analytics explained in simple, educator-friendly terms.
- AI in Teaching: Use of AI-powered platforms for lesson planning, student engagement, and adaptive learning.
- AI in Assessment: Tools for automated grading, feedback, and plagiarism checks.
- AI in Research: Applications in data analysis, literature review assistance, and research collaboration tools.
- Ethical Use of AI: Addressing concerns about bias, privacy, and responsible deployment in classrooms.
- Skill Development: Practical training in tools like ChatGPT, AI-based quiz generators, adaptive learning systems, and academic writing assistants.
