augMENTOR (full title: Augmented Intelligence for Pedagogically Sustained Training and Education) project has received funding from the European Union’s HORIZON-RIA HORIZON Research and Innovation Actions (HORIZON-CL2-2021-TRANSFORMATIONS-01-05 , Integration of emerging new technologies into education and training) under grant agreement (No. 101061509).

Overall, the augMentor propose a new Pedagogical Framework for designing and planning technology-augmented educational scenarios. The main specification of this type of educational activity will be the embedment of Artificial Intelligence and Learning Analytics techniques. In addition, they will focus on overall classroom activity design alongside putting great emphasis on the orchestration from the teacher’s point of view and, at the same time, using emergent technologies as powerful cognitive tools for students and decision making and adaptation tools for teachers. In addition, it will aim to develop higher-order cognitive competencies/thinking skills (design and critical thinking, creativity, decision making, modelling, computational thinking, etc.).

Part of this research (pilot studies) will involve minors, and in particular school children of 8 to 18 years old. The studies will take place in schools.

Duration: 36 months starting at 01 Jan 2023.
