\ud83c\udf99\ufe0f Interview with J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Coris, project manager overseeing P2IA at the Directorate of Digital Education (DNE), and Cl\u00e9ment Fantoli, a technology teacher in the Amiens academy and CREIA project manager at the DNE. If CREIA is new to you, this article, in collaboration with Ludomag, is the perfect introduction!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFaced with the democratization of AI and a year after ChatGPT became publicly available, the DNE launched CREIA in November 2023 to create a network of trainers<\/em>\u201d explains Cl\u00e9ment Fantoli, tracing the community\u2019s origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, the team focused on developing a proposal for the entire educational community. \u201cIt took eight months and the collaboration of a network of 170 trainers from all DRANE offices to co-construct the CREIA initiative,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CREIA operates on the m@gist\u00e8re platform (a hub for the entire educational community) and is a proposal designed to be inclusive: \u201cEveryone has a place in CREIA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe provide a space aimed at simplifying user access as much as possible. With the rapid growth of AI, it\u2019s important to offer what we believe is essential,\u201d explains J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Coris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The m@gist\u00e8re Space: The Hub for the Educational Community<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The m@gist\u00e8re platform is structured into two levels: the main welcome area leads to subsections containing news, discussions, resources, training, and the shared CREIA calendar. \u201cThe 170 trainers can add events like webinars to the calendar,\u201d notes Cl\u00e9ment Fantoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The News tab features twice-daily updates from the DNE via the MUSE app on topics related to AI and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0In CREIA, the most vibrant space is the discussion forums!\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Success of the Forums<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Three forums are available: AI in the Classroom<\/em>, AI Supporting the Educational Community<\/em>, and The Virtual Caf\u00e9 on AI and Education<\/em>, \u201ca more informal space for questions outside the scope of the other two forums.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor us, CREIA is a way to stay connected to the field. When people share their questions and experiences, it allows us to address their needs,\u201d emphasizes J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Coris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stresses that CREIA is an evolving initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

It\u2019s not a turnkey website where you just pick resources. It\u2019s a tool for the community that must be co-constructed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t anticipate the forums would be so popular, which led us to adjust. For instance, we enabled members to unsubscribe from notifications and introduced newsletters for significant updates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Curating, Selecting, and Retiring Resources<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The third tab is dedicated to resources. \u201cThe challenge with AI is the sheer volume of resources that emerge every hour,\u201d he explains. The trainers\u2019 network is tasked with sorting, validating, and removing outdated materials \u201cto save educators time and avoid overwhelming them with obsolete resources.\u201d For instance, you\u2019ll find the excellent AI4T MOOC developed with European partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the \u00ab\u00a0expert\u00a0\u00bb level for resources is empty, as the initial focus is on familiarizing the educational community with these new practices. The Retex<\/em> (feedback) section compiles experiences on AI, which, along with other resources (webinars, etc.), will soon be translated into other languages to reach a broader European and international audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Short-Form Training Modules to Fit Time Constraints<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The final section is dedicated to training, leveraging micro-learning principles. Modules rarely exceed 15 minutes to accommodate the realities of educators\u2019 schedules outside school hours. \u201cCREIA is also a learning community,\u201d he points out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe realized that to effectively promote AI literacy, we need to equip trainers in academies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The training modules can be utilized by field trainers during their sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Breaking the Stigma Around AI in Education<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThrough CREIA, we aim to overcome the stigma that teachers delegating repetitive tasks to AI might endanger their profession,\u201d explains Cl\u00e9ment Fantoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forums help foster open dialogue and encourage participants to share their insights and observations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

With 2,250 users on CREIA, the abundance of ideas holds great value.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In the coming months, networking projects will take shape. For example, an upcoming webinar will target school principals, led by a principal discussing their AI practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFollowing the webinar, we\u2019ll establish a working group on AI specifically for principals,\u201d says Cl\u00e9ment Fantoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPooling resources, tools, and expertise is key to this networking vision,\u201d adds J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Coris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cornerstone of CREIA\u2019s success lies in encouraging members to share experiences\u2014positive or negative. Cl\u00e9ment emphasizes that sharing mistakes fosters learning. Solely showcasing successful case studies from \u201cpioneering\u201d teachers might intimidate others and be counterproductive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

CREIA was created to ask the right questions together, not to promote AI in education.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Cl\u00e9ment gives an example of a teacher who expressed opposition to AI in education on the forum, prompting others to join the discussion. \u201cThis shows that regardless of your stance on AI, if you\u2019re interested, you\u2019re welcome!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Coris and Cl\u00e9ment Fantoli invite you to join the community today, emphasizing that CREIA\u2019s continued evolution depends on everyone\u2019s contributions to ensure AI finds its place in education within an ethical framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen the space is no longer a work in progress, the community will have outlived its purpose,\u201d concludes Cl\u00e9ment Fantoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January, CREIA will host AI Month, featuring four DRANE-led events on Wednesday afternoons to prepare the educational community for the AI Summit on February 11, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
