If you are a teacher, the idea of working in an RDI project might sometimes feel unattractive. You might think it is somehow trivial or boring paperwork that will not really benefit anyone in the end. Let me offer you another viewpoint through a recent example.
In early April we took part in the three-day Nordic Forum in Rwanda, which brought together Nordic and Rwandan actors from education, business, healthcare and agriculture. The goal was to build new partnerships and highlight the opportunities Rwanda offers to foreign investors and companies.
We travelled to Kigali to organize a Digital Pedagogy Training workshop at Rwanda Polytechnic as part of the HEP-TED project. The participants included members of the institution’s Digital Champions network as well as other teachers interested in digitalization, who act as pedagogical developers in their own organizations. Together, we reflected on how artificial intelligence is transforming teaching and learning – and what kinds of skills teachers and students will need in the future.
