AIM4 starts from the Lycée Paul Valéry in Paris, which hosted all the representatives of the partnership in a context of informal enthusiasm and proactive collaboration. The sessions of the kick-off meeting served above all to put in direct contact all the individuals who had already worked closely for months to ensure that AIM4 could come to life. In addition to this, however, the meeting had and achieved the aim of establishing initial pivotal points, which entrusted each partner with specific tasks and responsibilities.
What are the fundamental decisions made during this event? First, some details relating to the timing of the project were reiterated, such as the realization of a first multiplier event in Arezzo in November 2022 (therefore a clear decision in the direction of an early dissemination strategy); together with this, the time window for the end of the project, which will be the month of December 2024, was confirmed and shared.
Operationally, important general principles were shared regarding the AI modules which, together with the online platform, represent the heart of AIM4.The modules will be structured with the purpose of overcoming the idea (and ultimately also “the pressure”) of school assessment tests that decide the future of students, in favor of approaches that are not exclusively test-based.
In this sense, therefore, AIM4 proposes the approach of an adaptive learning that self-regulates (thanks to AI) its progress according to the individual, to eventually achieve a greater number of students who reach higher levels of interaction. We could say it is a “more is more” methodology, with more students involved, and higher educational standards reached.
The Evidence B experts explained to the partners how the algorithm also adapts even when the student does not exactly respond to the expectations of the system, proposing less difficult exercises to pass to the next level, in this way we can avoid the psychological block due to a perception of an incapacity that cannot be overcome.
The AI module will include 4 objectives, 12 activities for each objective, and 3 difficulty levels, with 5 exercises for each level, for a total of approximately 180 total exercises. The difficulties of the proposed exercises adapt to the student through what are defined “dynamic comfort zones“, and from the point of view of the content these will aim at explaining what artificial intelligence is, using thought associations and interactions of different types.At the end of the experience, a dashboard identifies groups of students with homogeneous skills, and with similar pedagogical needs.
Finally, important technological details about the communication infrastructures to be designed and the relative timing were shared by the partners and a precise work plan was defined. As a last note on communication, certainly the most useful for those who want to follow the AIM4 project, the partnership has agreed on a specific hashtag to be used on social networks: #AIM4EDU.
