This event is in the past.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing job profiles, labour markets and social participation. This also poses key questions for institutions of higher education: What skills will students need in the future in order to remain capable of acting in a working world characterised by AI? How do teaching, curricula and examination formats need to change? And how can the use of AI in higher education be designed in a didactically meaningful and legally responsible way?
The next edition of Talks@eTeach will address these questions with a keynote speech by Prof Dr Dirk Schmalzried entitled "AI skills for tomorrow: Why institutions of higher education urgently need to act now".
The presentation uses current developments and practical examples to show how profoundly AI is already changing various industries today and what consequences this has for institutions of higher education. The focus will be on the skills that students will need in the future, as well as the question of how university didactics and examination formats need to be further developed in order to focus more on critical thinking, methodological depth and a reflective approach to AI.
How institutions of higher education react to the changes brought about by AI is one of the central educational issues of our time.
The event will again take place from 13:00 to 14:00 and will be offered hybrid - online via Big Blue Button or in presence in the auditorium of the EAH Jena.
Event information: The conference room opens 15 minutes before the start. Please keep your microphone and camera closed when entering the room.

Sharing experiences at eye level means that teaching staff benefit from exchanging ideas with each other. Talks@eTeach offers space for impulses from teaching practice, exchange of experiences and networking on the topic of media-enhanced teaching, learning and testing. The format helps to give university lecturers and interested parties a platform to learn from each other.
Hybrid and entertaining: Talks@eTeach is a format that takes place every one to two months in a hybrid format, i.e. online and in person. Practical examples from teaching at institutions of higher education are presented from 1 pm to 2 pm. Afterwards, there is room for dialogue with the participants on successful developments and failed projects, obstacles, limitations and potential, as well as ideas and collaborations.
The motivation: The eTeach network promotes cross-university cooperation and accepts the questions and challenges of the digital transformation of university teaching together with the teaching staff of Thuringia's institutions of higher education. Talks@eTeach opens up spaces for experience by making professional expertise known as "examples of good practice" and discussing and classifying them across universities. You are cordially invited to participate (also spontaneously) and help shape the dialogue!
