Presentation of the ADA Workshop
This workshop promoted under the aegis of the ALL DIGITAL Academy (ADA) offers participants two intertwined opportunities:
- to learn how the DigComp framework can support the design of educational activities about the use of AI tools at different proficiency levels and for different target groups. In particular, inspiration for the definition of learning outcomes (LOs) on AI-related and other digital competences will be drawn from the over 250 examples of knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the DigComp 2.2 report;
- to explore the use of generative AI tools (in particular ChatGPT) for research, content creation, and lesson-planning purposes.
The workshop’s three sessions will propose information, reflections and activities according to a progression along the three DigComp macro proficiency levels as follows:
- at the foundation level, the aim is to develop basic knowledge, skills, and attitudes to interact with a generative AI tool such as ChatGPT. The focus of Session 1 will be on designing and refining prompts to research a concrete topic (the pros and cons of using generative AI in education) and to summarize the findings. Attention will be paid to how to perform such relatively simple tasks in a confident, critical, and responsible way and to provide guidance to learners when needed, in a way that supports them to become more independent users of such tools;
- at the intermediate level, learners should manage well-defined routine tasks when interacting with generative AI tools for content creation, and be able to solve straightforward problems independently and use generative AI tools according to their own needs. The focus of Session 2 will be on using ChatGPT to create and refine educational materials (such as informative leaflets, a presentation, a guide, etc.) on the use of generative AI in education based on the results of Step 1;
- at the advanced level, learners should apply their new skills to more complex non-routine tasks, and independently choose the most appropriate tools for the given task. Advanced level competence also includes guiding or tutoring other learners. For this reason, the aim of Session 3 will be to design lesson plans for different target groups (on topics to be chosen by the participants) using ChatGPT to articulate objectives, LOs, and activities.
After the general introduction to the workshop given in Session 1 (participants are expected to attend all three sessions, so this will not be repeated), each session will be divided into three parts:
- Initial plenary (20 min.) – Presentation of inspirational usages of generative AI tools with reflections on how they may contribute to the development of DigComp competences, by referring to AI-related and other knowledge, skills, and attitudes examples from DigComp 2.2.
- Working group activity (50 min.) – Activation of small WGs (max 8 people each) with the mutual presentation of participants and execution of the assigned tasks using the tools made available to each WG and participants’ own devices.
- Sharing activity (20 min.) – Presentation and discussion in the plenary of the results of each WG.
How to join the Workshop
This ADA Workshop requires interested participants to reply to a Call for expression of interest because most of the activities will be carried out in small groups (8 participants), each facilitated by an ALL DIGITAL guide (5 of them), for a maximum of about 40 participants in total. Besides, participants will have to register to the Summit to attend in person here.

The working groups’ guides will be:
- Riina Vuorikari
- Sandra Troia
- Nicola Bruno
- Stefano Kluzer
