In the course of the AI debate, everyone is also talking about data or Big Data. In this context, concern is often expressed about the possible lack of objectivity of data in terms of gender, age, race, culture or sexual orientation. The problem is that this can lead to discrimination. An interesting event was organised in this regard by NORRAG, the Network for International Policies and Cooperation in Education and Training. It dealt with the "decolonisation of data". A keynote address and two panels covered the following topics:

•     "A New World? Transformational Knowledge and Decolonization" (keynote).
•     "Decolonising International Assessment" (Panel 1).
•     "Decolonising Ed-Tech" (Panel 2).

The website linked here provides the video recordings of the keynote and the panels, as well as the slides for the keynote.

The main target audience of European Schoolnet's MOOC are educators as well as parents with an interest in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education and its potentials and challenges. No previous experience or knowledge of AI is needed to take this course. The course is open from 13.03. till 19.04.23.

Through the four modules of the MOOC, AI resources, tools and technologies will be examined that can be safely implemented in your daily teaching practice to enhance teaching and learning. The MOOC will furthermore explore the use of educational data and how it interacts with teaching and learning. There will also be a reflection on ethical implications of AI’s use in the classroom. At the end of the course, the participants will prepare their own AI-related learning activity, ready to be put into practice.

We admit that the topic of our new dossier is not a very festive one given that Christmas is coming soon.  But it is a topic that has directly concerned us at the DBS and DIPF Institute over the past few weeks, as we ourselves have been victims of a cyber attack. Education Worldwide took the opportunity to research the topic of cybercrime in the field of education. It turned out that education is one of the most popular targets for hackers around the world. The sources we compiled for our webdossier will tell you the reasons for this, it will present you facts and statistics, and it will show you some examples of how different countries are dealing with this problem in the education sector.
