July 2023
From 3 – 5 July we welcomed 2 visiting scholars from South Korea. Professor Heeok Heo from Sunchon National University, and Professor Kang from Cheongju University. Both professors are experts in educational technology and artificial intelligence and its application to (teacher) education. During their visit, they delivered a seminar and workshop on AI and teacher education. A number of researchers and teacher educators from our department and NHL Stenden attended the event.
Both prof. Heeok and prof. Kang are part of the Global Effective Teaching and Learning (GETLIN consortium) led by our department. Currently, we have been working on planning an international joint-master program on educational technology, AI, and (teacher) education, a cooperation between three European universities (NHL Stenden, Tallin University, Gothenburg University) and three Korean universities (Sunchon University, Cheongju University, Chung An University). This is a long-term plan. During their visit, we also discussed a plan to organize an international Summer school together, as well as exploring research cooperation in terms of double-doctorate program. Please feel free to contact Ridwan (r.maulana@rug.nl) if you are interested in knowing more about these plans.
