The Educational Innovation Hackathon organized by CEDDIE

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!

IA_ExpoIFE2024_Pioneros_398x230_ING

Expo: Enhancing Learning and Teaching through Artificial Intelligence

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.

Get ready for the end of the period and grade submission!

Image
PrepCierrePeriodo_398x230_ING

Remember the steps to ensure a smooth process

We are about to close the period, and it is crucial that you prepare adequately. For this reason, we provide you with a checklist to avoid any inconvenience in the process: 

1. Verify evidence assessment: Ensure that all evidence is assessed correctly.

2. Review your assessment plan: Make sure your assessment plan has a final column and includes all activities contributing to your students' grades. Remember that activities should be published and configured with a weight of 100 and in points.

3. Identify the grade submission button: If you can't find the grade submission button in the menu, follow these steps: 

Menu > Settings > Navigation > Identify the grade submission button > Click on the three dots > Enable > Click on the save button.

4. Verify grade consistency: Check that the grades in the final column of the grading section match the grades in the grade submission section. If not, do not proceed with the submission and review your assessment plan.

5. Consider grade rounding: Remember that in the grade submission section, grades are reflected rounded. For example, if John Doe has a grade of 86.5, it will be shown as 87; if the grade is 86.4, it will show as 86 for the final grade.

6. Submit grades: Once you are sure the final grades match in the grade submission section, click on the blue button labeled "submit."

7. Download the confirmation PDF: Do not forget to download the PDF file, as it will serve as proof of what was submitted to the school department. 

Following these steps ensures a period closure without complications and an accurate and efficient grade submission. Your collaboration in this process is fundamental to ensure transparency and accuracy in the assessment of your students.

Curricular and Alternative Credentials

Image
Credenciales_398x230_ING

The value of demonstrating competencies for professional success

Find out what they are and the Tecnológico de Monterrey’s strategy to certify the skills and abilities of its students at the Professional, Graduate and Continuing Education levels. 

Last July, the Tecnológico de Monterrey announced its institutional Credentials strategy as a commitment to formalize the actions that offer new options for the accreditation of learning, skills, and competencies that enhance the profile of its students. 

Access the official document here: 

https://bit.ly/Alternative-Credentials-Tec.

With this initiative, the Tec becomes the first institution in Mexico and Latin America to implement Curricular Credentials in the study plans of its students at a professional level, and it is also positioned as one of the first institutions to establish formal actions for the issuance of Alternative Credentials for your students, graduates or any person who wishes to continue acquiring specific skills. 

What are these Credentials?

The Curricular Credentials validate the comprehensive development of the competencies declared in the study plans, as well as the knowledge and skills obtained from other disciplines. These accreditations help to build a unique and differentiated graduation profile that allows the student to enhance their insertion in the labor market. 

On the other hand, the Alternative Credentials are formal and extracurricular accreditations of specific knowledge, skills and competences. They are acquired through optional additional courses according to one's own interests. This new type of training allows students and professionals to constantly update and expand their knowledge, demonstrating their experience with physical or digital evidence. 

In this way, the Tecnológico de Monterrey seeks that its students experience both types of training in parallel: that of a university degree and the development of specific skills, in order to complement and reinforce what they have learned. As you have seen, these credentials provide new, simpler, more accessible, and faster ways to acquire, deepen, or diversify the knowledge, skills, and competencies evidenced by job profiles. 

To find out all the information about this initiative, consult the official document of “Alternative Credentials at Tecnológico de Monterrey”, here:
