Description

To facilitate broader dissemination of INSIGHT, central elements of the training were transferred into open educational resources within the KISS-Pro project. The massive open online course "Lehrkräfteprofessionalisierung für KI in Schule und Unterricht" on the openHPI platform "provides freely accessible, video-based learning modules and practice-oriented tasks that enable teachers to engage with the content in a flexible, self-paced format." The authors state this format may help reduce practical barriers to participation and support teachers in integrating AI-based technologies, including LLMs, into lesson planning and preparation of teaching materials.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Freely accessible online delivery via the openHPI platform

Constraints

Target Learners

• in-service teachers in Germany

Learning Goals

• integrating AI-based technologies, including LLMs, into lesson planning, instructional design, and the preparation of teaching materials

Claims

• Participation in the short INSIGHT training session is associated with a significant pre-post increase in teachers’ perceived usefulness of AI-based technologies [+M] — evidence from the face-to-face INSIGHT training the MOOC was transferred from, not from the MOOC itself
• Participation in the short INSIGHT training session is associated with a significant pre-post increase in teachers’ perceived ease of use of AI-based technologies [+M]
• Behavioural intention to use AI-based technologies does not change significantly following the INSIGHT training, despite increases in perceived usefulness and ease of use [~M]

Patterns Used

• Massive Open Online Course: freely accessible, self-paced video modules and practice tasks on openHPI

Related Designs

• INSIGHT teacher PD training session — the training whose central elements the MOOC carries
