Digital Education: AI-powered Personalised Learning Pathways for Basic Skills

Scope:European policy experimentations are transnational cooperation projects that involve developing, implementing and testing the relevance, effectiveness, potential impact and scalability of activities to address policy priorities in different countries. By combining strategic leadership, methodological soundness, and a strong European dimension, they enable mutual learning and support evidence-based policy at European level.Themes and priorities (scope)Projects under this topic will aim to foster the application of (ethical, transparent, and explainable) AI-based PLPs at school education and initial VET level, specifically addressing learners at EQF levels 1 to 4.The projects should target one or more of the basic skills[1] focusing on the priorities below (projects should show awareness of all priorities, but the depth and focus can vary depending on the project’s scope):Support the deployment of AI-powered PLPs for basic skills development: leveraging PLPs that use AI, machine learning, or other innovative methods to tailor learning journey, content and pace to individual learners' needs.Improve basic skills acquisition: improving learners' skills in the basic skills set, as laid out in the Action Plan on Basic Skills, to enhance their learning process and increase their employability and participation in society, through an interdisciplinary approach.Measure the improvement of basic skills education: learning progress and basic skills development should be made measurable through student and teacher dashboards and learning analytics, complemented by systematic feedback collection from learners and educators.Enhance innovative pedagogies and approaches, by supporting adaptive, data-driven teaching, learning, and assessment methods (such as micro-learning and competency-based progress) enabling schools to foster effective, learner-centred, and inclusive environments that strengthen basic skills, to enhance the effectiveness education and training for basic skil
