Successful first hackathon by TASK21
The need for us all to be able to learn and re-learn is constantly becoming more and more important, as the speed of change continues to increase in our society. The Covid-19 pandemic has forced us all to change, adapt and go online. We have taken a giant leap in online distance learning in a very short time. But what are the problems in online distance learning? And how can they be solved?
This was the challenge that brought together student-teams from four different universities in Europe to hack for one day. The students worked in cross functional teams. All teams had both pedagogy students and AI students. All teams had at least three different nationalities.
At the end of the day, the students pitched their solution to an experienced jury of pedagogy and ai experts.
“The winning team, #3, has presented a good innovative idea for socialization and asynchronous learning. With well described benefits as well as realistic implementation proposal for virtualization of a school. We can also see that the solution has a potential to make learning easier for people at the same time as they work, something the EU has identified as a very important goal”, says the jury.
