She delivered a paper entitled The Teacher at the Intersection of Innovation and Risk: Critical Reflections on Generative, in which she presents selected aspects of research and the reflection on the teacher’s role in the era of AI-enhanced education. As a speaker, she also addressed this topic by presenting her research as part of the project called ‘Śląskie. Obserwatorium edukacji’.
At the conference, Monika Frania, PhD, Assoc. Prof. was also part of an expert panel discussion called Empowering Futures with AI: A Panel Discussion on Education’s Transformation.
An extremely important moment was the voting of the event’s participants in the DisCo 2025 Course Award. Our researcher was awarded first prize in this vote for the idea and implementation of the elective course of the Educational Escape Room. The course’s premise had already gained recognition in international circles, as Monika Frania won first prize in the T4EU Alliance’s ‘Transform4Europe Innovative Teaching Award’ in 2022.
The conference in Czechia was an opportunity to promote both research and educational activities of the University of Silesia.
