In August, training workshops will begin to help teachers understand how to update the URLs in their CANVAS courses following the update of the Digital Library. 

This update now facilitates authentication and access to all collections through a single and standardized entry. The new authentication process is through the OpenAthens platform, making it easier to access over 177 digital collections and millions of reference resources. The goal is to authenticate once instead of for each collection.        

Don't worry about "broken links" messages, the resources remain available in the Digital Library for you and your students, you just need to update the URLs you have in CANVAS for all your courses.       

If you want to learn more about this change and how to resolve or convert direct links in your courses, we recommend signing up for workshops that will be held on two different dates:    

• Tuesdays, August 6th, 13th, and 20th at 10:00 am   
• Thursdays, August 8th, 15th, and 22nd at 3:00 pm

The "Pioneers in Artificial Intelligence" initiative at Tecnologico de Monterrey invites educators from all academic levels, from high school to postgraduate studies, to document and share the applications of AI in teaching and learning. The aim is to acquire a digital badge recognition.

The initiative, orchestrated by the Center for Teaching Development and Educational Innovation (CEDDIE), acknowledges instructors who have embraced AI tools to enhance their students' learning experiences. To date, nearly 200 digital badges have been awarded to educators who have successfully integrated this technology into their learning environments.

Illustrative examples include:

María Guadalupe Reyes García taught a course on Latin American Cultural Expressions at PrepaTec Zacatecas, where she spearheaded "Nuestras Olvidadas." This innovative project had students create comics highlighting overlooked Latin American women. Utilizing AI for illustrations, the project, showcased at the Teyolía Festival, enabled students without drawing skills to depict these women's stories creatively and diversely, underlining AI's significant role in the creative process.

Tonatiuh Najera Ruiz conducted a practical exercise in Financial Modeling and Programming at Campus Sonora Norte. Students used AI to generate code for building an investment portfolio from scratch, including data retrieval, analysis, asset selection, portfolio composition and optimization, performance measurement, and backtesting. The aim was to acquaint students with AI tools in investment to make informed financial decisions.

Víctor Manuel Jímenez Rodríguez developed a Customized Adaptive Evaluation Plan in Innovation and Business Launch at Campus Querétaro. This plan leveraged AI to tailor to students' learning preferences, identifying learning styles, adapting tests to learning progress, analyzing learning journals for personalized adjustments, using digital portfolios for content assessment, and implementing multichannel feedback to pinpoint improvement areas. AI's pivotal role was to personalize educational content and assessments, enhancing the learning experience.

CEDDIE's "Pioneers in AI" initiative is open to all faculty members, encouraging ongoing innovation in AI for education. Those interested in joining can visit the Mi Innovación Educativa platform for more information and to document their innovations.

TEC DU HACK, the CEDDIE Educational Innovation Hackathon at Tecnológico de Monterrey, stands as an opportunity to solve educational challenges by seeking ideas and solutions that address the need for student engagement.

On December 6th and 7th, 2023, the second national edition of Tec Du Hack was held, where 194 participants, 35 teacher evaluators and mentors, along with the entire CEDDIE educational innovation team, and the Educational Entrepreneurship team of the Institute for the Future of Education (IFE), united to work on a common challenge:

To ensure that the integration of generative artificial intelligence in the educational context translates into an understanding and demonstration of genuine learning for our students.

Over two intensive days of activities, presentations, workshops, and continuous work sessions, both in-person and remote, more than 233 teachers, mentors, and speakers worked and provided feedback on the launch of 48 educational innovation designs from four different perspectives:

1. Feedback and assessment enhanced by AI
2. AI tools for competency development
3. Content production through generative artificial intelligence
4. Converging emerging technologies (AI in the metaverse)

As part of the experience, various teams of teachers presented their ideas before an evaluating jury, who analyzed the proposals and defined the three recognized ideas, based on criteria such as innovative approach, potential to improve the learning experience, impact potential, as well as feasibility of implementation and scalability.

The winning teams will be recognized as TEC·DU HACK Ambassadors for one year, and all participants, regardless of their position on the leaderboard, will obtain a blockchain-based microcredential.

The hackathon represents an opportunity for teachers to work in teams on the solution of common challenges. These spaces allow the combination of creativity, initiative, and talent in the generation of ideas with the potential to change their educational environments and impact the improvement of the learning experience.

• 1st place GPTeach Systemic AI model for genuine learning
• 2nd place Pimp my Prompt 24/7 virtual assistant for teachers
• 3rd place GPTs as a tool for personalized learning Prompts for competency development

Congratulations to all who participated, and particularly to the winning teams!

Throughout 2023, the Center for Teaching Development and Educational Innovation (CEDDIE) at Tecnológico de Monterrey led a pioneering initiative to explore how teachers can leverage the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform education.

Under the "Pioneers in Artificial Intelligence" initiative, educators from all levels of the institution, from high school to graduate studies, were invited to document and share innovative uses of AI in teaching and learning. The aim was to improve education and grant recognition as pioneers through digital badges for incorporating these tools into their educational practice.

During the IFE Conference 2024, a representative selection of the more than 190 practices documented in the initiative was presented, taking advantage of the attendance of some AI implementers at the event. This exhibition provided an ideal platform for educators to share and receive feedback on their experiences, thereby extending the reach of the proposals presented.

Among the most outstanding proposals displayed were those from the teams that won first and second place at TecDuHack 2023 (CEDDIE Hackathon), which demonstrated innovative ways to promote genuine learning by integrating generative AI tools into new learning environments.

The "Pioneers in AI from CEDDIE" initiative remains open to all educators at the institution, encouraging continuous innovation in the use of AI for education. All those interested in joining and registering a proposal can access the Mi Innovación Educativa platform, where they will find more information and can document their innovations.
