Artificial intelligence and digital technologies in digitally-supported university education

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic quickly evolved from health crisis into an economic, cultural and social crisis. According to International Association of Universities global survey report, many universities already for see the impacts of economic crisis on students and their families, face the closure for short, medium or long term, while social distancing measurements urge universities to develop e-courses and to move towards ”emergency online education”. In order to provide access for all students to global virtual educational environment, with differentiated and individualized learning tools, we focus on cooperation for innovation in digitally-supported education, the exchange of good practices teaching/learning experiences in the field sof web-based education and capacity building by creating the laboratory for Artificial Intelligence (AI), heuristics and bioinformatics at the University of Belgrade-Faculty of Agriculture. The main idea is to create eEDUCANeT platform for students and academic staff for pedagogical use of digital technologies and AI in teaching, learning and research.
