ITMO University completed a continuing professional education program for instructors of top-tier educational programs in artificial intelligence. More than 330 instructors from 19 Russian universities participated.
The program was developed and implemented by ITMO University as part of the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media’s project to train top specialists in artificial intelligence, with the support of the Analytical Center for the Government of the Russian Federation. The program was designed for senior instructors of top-tier educational programs from universities that had received grant support. In addition to lectures, the training included a project-based module. The instructors formed interuniversity teams, developed their own course projects and assessment tools, and posted their results in Git repositories.
Following the training, the interuniversity teams defended 54 course projects. Yuri Hohlov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Institute of the Information Society, participated in the review and approval of course drafts for top-level educational programs in artificial intelligence.
