Students’ Personalised Learning Model, Based on the Virtual Learning Environment of Intellectual Tutoring "Learning with No Limits"

MO_logo


SMART-PL is a 3-year project, focused on introducing a model of personalized learning, based on the

virtual learning environment of Intellectual Tutoring "Learning with No Limits". Intellectual tutoring is a set of
learning tools: SMART online platform for virtual personalized learning and formative student assessment;
сo-working center with equipment for organizing hybrid learning, which increases the educational process's
efficiency and gives both teachers and students more opportunities. "Learning with No Limits" means that all
students are welcomed - regardless of age, personality, socioeconomic status, or educational needs,
regardless of the opportunity to be present in the audience or not.

The project is divided into 7 WPs which are linked to promoting the cooperation of partners to
implement the European experience of personalized learning; improving educational programs of
universities; increasing transparency and comprehensibility of education and assessment for students
(including the results of non-formal education), reducing students’ anxiety as for their professional expertise
and forming their confidence to achieve efficient results; to improve the quality of teaching materials; to
facilitate students’ mobility, including in virtual mode, on a university/country scale, inter-university/country
levels, between academic sectors and forms of education); to create extra opportunities to get higher
education for people with disabilities and specific academic needs through inclusive education and the
implemented model of personalized learning and hybrid technologies.

The fundamental principle of the project is a personalized approach aimed at forming a highly qualified
competitive specialist who can conduct innovative activities and has the skills of continuous professional
development. The personalized approach is characterized by innovative teaching methods, designed to
encourage collaboration between students and teachers, emphasizing the central role of students in
controlling their learning.

Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module "Legal and Regulatory Governance of Artificial Intelligence Systems", 2022-2025

MO_logo2


This project has received funding from the European Union’s ERASMUS+ programme (topic: ERASMUS-JMO-2022-MODULE) under grant agreement no 101085796 – LRGAIS.

The European Union Law has been the main field of studies provided by TalTech Law School (TLS) of Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) since its establishment. However, being part of the technology university meant for TLS to focus its studies and research on relations between law and technology, within the EU law and in general. Throughout these years, TLS has firmly established itself as a leading expert in the field of law and technology in Estonia and beyond, in addition to the studies, providing expert opinions for the institutions from public and private sector concerning the newest developments in field of law and technology.

Our experience shows that rapid development in the field requires constant update of study materials and syllabi of relevant courses, old and new, in order to keep up with the pace and make sure the students follow the recent developments closely and are prepared for the work in the field. Therefore, our module will focus on offering three courses relevant to the task. The courses will cover issues from legal and regulatory governance of Autonomous Intelligent Technologies (AI), explaining how and if existing legal systems are able to handle the consequences of further implementation of AI systems, as well as ethical and human rights aspects of using such technologies. The main issue being to achieve a better understanding of the distribution of the responsibilities and liabilities between humans and their use of AI systems, considering the plethora of interacting technology (e.g. chatbots) developers, cloud providers, hardware manufacturers, telco and network operators, and application and platform service providers.

Three courses included in the module will cover the most relevant and actual aspects of above-mentioned and will not be offered only to law students at TalTech, but to the students of other programmes, as well as anyone interested, being able to declare the course via open university of TalTech.

Duration of the project: 1.09.2022 - 31.08.2025
