During this Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) you will learn more about the changing world of work and new demands for skills and knowledge. You will also explore what jobs are most (and which least) vulnerable to new technology and what skills will be needed in the future. The course is supposed to take you 5-6 weeks (about 1 week per module).
We will also be looking at the possible impact of AI on the world of education and training. We will be examining a series of different case studies and examples of how AI is being used in vocational schools and in the workplace to understand how it can be used for teaching and learning, ranging from gamification in German VET schools to the use of Chatbots for careers guidance in the UK. Although the examples come from different occupations we think much of what they reveal is transferable between subjects and occupations.
AI and automation raises many questions for the future of work and of vocational education and training. We cannot pretend to have the answers to these issues. Instead we hope that through developing a community of practice and through processes of reflection, we can collectively advance our understanding and response to the challenges we face.
