Creative use of Chat GPT, AI and gamification for outdoor learning

Upgrade your teaching with AI

Do you want to explore new ways of using artificial intelligence (AI) in education? Are you curious about how to use ChatGPT and other AI tools to save time and create engaging learning activities?

In this  Erasmus+ course in Tenerife, you’ll explore the real potential of AI for education – all in a creative, ethical and hands-on way. You will explore tools like ChatGPT, Canva AI, Curipod, and Diffit to redesign classroom activities, generate content  and reflect critically on the role of AI in learning.

Whether you are a teacher, trainer  or school staff member, this course will help you integrate AI into your daily work in a meaningful and responsible way. It’s also ideal for non-teaching staff in schools, NGOs, adult education or vocational training centres looking to boost digital competence and improve work efficiency.

What makes this course special is its mix of digital innovation, outdoor learning  and inclusive collaboration. One of the trainers is a technical computer engineer with strong experience in gamification, AI and digital tools applied to outdoor education. That’s why part of this training takes place in the Anaga UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. There, you will test AI-based educational games, try a digital treasure hunt and explore hybrid methods that combine technology with nature.

You’ll also collaborate with peers to design your own activity using AI — one you can implement immediately when you return home. Join this course for a great balance of learning, doing and reflecting in Tenerife.

Methodology:

Our focus is on showing participants how learners’ motivation increases when they become active creators of their own learning, with the teacher acting as a facilitator or learning guide. Our approach includes:

  • interactive workshops and group activities
  • hands-on testing of AI tools and digital resources
  • outdoor education in natural settings, including a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve
  • guided discussions and structured debates to promote critical thinking
  • cooperative planning and co-creation of educational activities
  • reflection circles and sharing of best practices
  • final presentations and peer feedback for practical application

Our methodology is grounded in non-formal education, active participation and real-world challenges faced by today’s educators. You’ll leave the course not only with new tools, but with the confidence to use them.
