La séance qui a réuni plus de soixante membres de la communauté USJ avait pour thème l’intelligence artificielle (IA) et son impact dans le domaine de l’éducation. Madame Wadad Wazen Gergy a débuté la discussion par un questionnaire interactif qui a révélé que, jusqu’à janvier 2023, 65 % des enseignants et membres de la communauté éducative n’avaient pas utilisé d’applications basées sur l’intelligence artificielle et que ce sujet est d’une grande importance pour eux dans leur domaine de travail. Ensuite Madame Gergy a abordé les concepts et les aspects généraux de l’IA, soulignant son potentiel à transformer les pratiques pédagogiques et à améliorer les processus d’apprentissage ainsi que les implications éthiques de l’intelligence artificielle.

Throughout the session, versatile AI tools were showcased, highlighting their utility in diverse fields. Mrs. Wadad Wazen Gergy and Mr. Mario Gharib also presented specialized tools tailored to each field, demonstrating how AI could be effectively integrated to support student-centered learning and assessment, aid teaching professionals, and facilitate educational institution management.

The participants actively engaged in the session by asking questions and sharing their experiences and ideas, emphasizing the significance of using AI responsibly and ethically in an educational environment. The feedback from the attendees was overwhelmingly positive and encouraging.
