Volunteers for AI in Education Course Design and Delivery
Job Description
Job Posting Organization:
La Universidad Intercultural de las Nacionalidades y Pueblos Indígenas Amawtay Wasi is a public, intercultural, and community-oriented institution. Its mission is to educate individuals who recognize the harmonious relationship among all living beings and fully exercise their individual and collective rights to build a Plurinational and Intercultural State, grounded in community well-being. By 2030, the university aims to be a leading educational community in intercultural dialogue, promoting diverse, decolonized knowledge that strengthens community ties, aligned with the concept of Sumak Kawsay. The university's foundations include interculturality, plurinationality, epistemic dialogue and sovereignty, and the full exercise of cultural and linguistic rights.
Job Overview:
The position seeks two volunteers with experience in artificial intelligence (AI) and its application in education to design and deliver a virtual course aimed at university educators. The course aims to equip participants with practical knowledge and tools to integrate AI into their teaching-learning processes. The training will consist of 20 hours spread over 10 sessions of 2 hours each, scheduled from 18:00 (GMT-5), Monday to Friday, via Microsoft Teams. This initiative is part of the 'Innovative Education with Advanced Technology' project, which aims to modernize pedagogical practices and reduce the digital divide in education. The course will focus on practical, accessible approaches relevant to real classroom contexts, providing immediate-use examples and tools.
Duties and Responsibilities:
The volunteers will be responsible for designing the course program, creating educational materials (such as presentations, practical guides, and digital resources), and developing classroom activities. They will conduct live sessions via Microsoft Teams, combining theoretical instruction with demonstrations and practical workshops. Weekly virtual coordination meetings with the organizing team will be required, lasting 30 minutes on a mutually agreed day. Volunteers must also be available to respond to participant inquiries through the course forum or email. Additionally, they will design and review a final applied activity where educators will present a project integrating AI into their teaching practice.
Required Qualifications:
Candidates must have a solid understanding of artificial intelligence and its educational applications. Experience in course design and delivery, particularly in virtual environments, is essential. Strong communication skills and the ability to engage with educators in a supportive manner are also required. Familiarity with Microsoft Teams and digital teaching tools is necessary to facilitate effective online learning experiences.
Educational Background:
A degree in education, computer science, or a related field is preferred. Advanced studies or certifications in artificial intelligence or educational technology will be considered an asset. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to intercultural education and community engagement.
Experience:
Volunteers should have prior experience in teaching or training, particularly in higher education settings. Experience with AI tools and their integration into educational practices is crucial. Previous involvement in projects aimed at enhancing digital competencies among educators will be highly regarded.
Languages:
Fluency in Spanish is mandatory, as the course will be conducted in Spanish. Proficiency in English or other languages will be considered a plus, especially for engaging with diverse educational resources and literature.
Additional Notes:
The position is voluntary and part-time, with a flexible schedule for the course delivery. The exact dates for the course will be determined between February and March, starting at 18:0
