WELCOME TO RAISE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES PLATFORM!

On our platform, you can find a list of AI-related courses, following occasions,
training events and workshops. Here, you can also search for the most
appropriate educational resource from the existing ones using a filter. The
filter allows you to choose the topic from the artificial intelligence and
application field, course level, format and language. Courses and educational
resources are now available in a large variety of communications formats and
their combinations. In this platform, there is an attempt to provide a search
for a few filtering combinations. Therefore, it allows finding the most
appropriate AI-related courses for the user.


HOW TO SEARCH WITH FILTERING

By filtering, users can choose two items from the list of Topics and Fields. But
there could be three choices in one search from the list of languages. Just a
one choice possible in education Level. There is a great diversity in education
and training Formats; therefore, we have involved two steps in choosing the
option for a Format search. In the first step, a user must select one of four
groups: Face-to-Face, Distance learning, Online teaching/training and
Self-learning. In the second step, one can choose up to three options in the
selected sub-format group. For example, a user could choose Face-to-Face options
and for searching two sub-formats - Lecture with hands-on (practice) and
Workshop/Tutorial.


RESULT OF SEARCH

The list of courses will be displayed upon selected choices, containing the
following information on each course, event or learning resource:* title,

 * short description,
 * provider,
 * link.

If available, there will be also provided information on learning outcomes,
prerequisites and tools, dates, registration, price, certificate etc.


TERMINOLOGY RELATED TO FORMATS

We tried to classify all education and training formats into four groups, but of
course, overlapping is also possible, as, for example, blended learning.

FACE-TO-FACE

The Face-to-Face format is traditionally used in education and training. A
Lecture or presentation in front of a large audience is used to provide
information and to motivate for further development. Attendees gain some
knowledge and start understanding. To gain an even deeper understanding and
practical skills, some discussion in smaller groups and hands-on practice must
be added to the lecture. This leads to the provision of workshop, tutorial, or
seminars, which are organized by tutors for a smaller group of 15 to 25 people.
Pure hands-on training or laboratory practice for even smaller groups may also
support transferring knowledge.

Several related topics and education formats may be joined to form a course. In
higher education, courses are usually planned for one semester. Besides lectures
and workshops, courses usually also provide additional course materials (lecture
notes, books, problems to solve etc.). Considering the complete learning time
assigned to a course, 50% or more are assigned to a student performing homework
and studying the course materials. Examinations and tests are very important
elements to ensure the quality of the education process and control the
achievement of defined learning outcomes by trainees. Nowadays, communication,
innovation, and teamwork skills become more and more important. There exist
special events organized as Projects/Teamwork/Hackathons to develop these
skills.

Combining many related courses, a degree program can be created lasting several
years and ending with a graduation work/examination. There are also short degree
programs and such new formats as Micro-credentials and ExpertTracks.

Traditional education and training events, as well as degree programs, could be
offered also in Distance learning or in the online teaching/learning format.

DISTANCE LEARNING

Distance learning or distance education, also called open flexible learning, is
an alternative to Face-to-Face formats. Here, special methodologies and study
materials are developed to enhance asynchronous independent learning with more
than 80-90% of time spent with some tutor support available. Every student can
choose his/her most appropriate learning time, place, o pace. Just less than
10-20% of the time are used for special group events face-to-face or online,
which are needed to acquire some special skills not possible to learn at
distance. Distance learning is efficient for a large number of learners, because
the development of course materials may take a lot of time and effort.

Online learning or e-learning refers to distance education that takes place over
the Internet. It is a bit confusing, that term “online learning” sometimes is
also used in AI with the meaning of “online machine learning”. Distance
education is developing as new technologies become available. MOOCs are very
popular now and enable teaching several thousands of students. Combining
face-to-face and distance learning formats leads to blended learning.

ONLINE OR REMOTE TEACHING/TRAINING

Online or remote teaching/training is now widely used to replace traditional
face-to-face formats due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There exist remote
synchronous online lectures and training events using appropriate technologies.
Traditional face-to-face education methodologies must be adapted, however,
without any need to develop expensive distance learning course materials. Such
an approach is only appropriate for smaller groups. Training events may be
recorded and reused as self-learning material.

SELF-LEARNING

The Self-learning format is one more option. A large variety of Open Educational
Resources (OER) is nowadays available in digital formats, like a video recording
of training events and tutorials, podcasts, e-books, course materials etc.
Mostly, it comes without any tutor support and is intended just for
self-learning.
