From March 30 to May 29, 2026, the EdUP project successfully hosted a comprehensive training program for educators titled "Artificial Intelligence in Creating Learning Materials."
Rebooting the Educational Process with AI
The course curriculum was co-developed by the EdUP project and Technomatix. The training followed a blended learning format powered by Google Workspace, culminating in a two-day, hands-on offline intensive in Kyiv on May 28–29.
Content Falling Behind the Times
Most educators face the exact same hurdles:
Massive amounts of information that need structuring
Creating tests and assessing knowledge eats up too much time
Learning materials look repetitive and monotonous
Великі обсяги інформації,
які треба структурувати
Створення тестів та перевірка знань забирають багато часу
Навчальні матеріали виглядають одноманітно
Our Solution
Integrate artificial intelligence tools into educators' daily routines to boost the quality and interactivity of the educational process.

Competencies
Google Workspace for Education
Educators gained insights into using the Google ecosystem to plan and organize the learning process. They also mastered skills in applying built-in AI tools to cut down on routine tasks.
Generative Artificial Intelligence
Participants explored the fundamentals of text, image, and audio AI models. They learned how to engineer precise text prompts to generate lesson plans, quizzes, images, and voiceovers (using tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Napkin AI, Leonardo AI, NotebookLM, and Eleven Labs).

Instructional Design & Visual Communication
Educators studied the core stages and frameworks of instructional design to build well-structured learning materials. Additionally, they mastered the fundamental rules of visual communication, composition, color theory, and typography.

Smart Design in Canva
Participants learned to leverage Canva’s built-in AI tools to design educational content. Using the platform's AI generators (Magic Media, AI Voice, Magic Eraser, and Magic Write), educators learned how to create professional presentations, infographics, and personal visual identities from scratch.
Throughout the course, special emphasis was placed on ethics and academic integrity when working with AI. Participants learned about copyright basics, Creative Commons licenses, and the responsible use of online visual assets.
2 DAYS IN "PRODUCTION" MODE & PROJECT DEFENSE
The grand finale of the course was a two-day practical intensive held in Kyiv.
Participants split into teams. Each group was paired with a Technomatix training duo that supported them throughout the course: an Instructional Designer and a Graphic Designer. Alongside their mentors, the educators pushed through an 8-hour practical marathon to build their final projects — interactive presentations powered by AI and Canva.
The second day kicked off with fine-tuning the final details and prepping for presentations. The highlight of the day was the internal project defense within the groups. Participants graded each other's presentations, while the trainers provided expert scores. Based on this joint vote, one standout leader with the best project was chosen from each group.
A key highlight of the intensive was a strategic panel discussion featuring Swisscontact and Technomatix, focusing on the future of digital education. The program concluded with a vibrant graduation ceremony, where certificates were awarded along with special gifts from Technomatix for the most outstanding and tech-savvy projects.
Структура кожного модуля динамічна: інформаційні блоки, відеолекції, інтерактивні елементи (слайд-шоу, таби, таймлайни), практичні та тестові завдання для закріплення навичок.
Insights from the Participants
Three major breakthroughs that educators found most valuable:
AI is a teaching assistant, not a teacher replacement.
Educators learned how to craft prompts and maintain a dialogue with AI. Now, AI generates structured lesson plans, presentation outlines, and more.
"I finally figured out how to write prompts for AI correctly."
Design matters.
Participants realized that applying whitespace rules, using clean fonts, and picking a solid color palette directly impact student engagement and focus.
"Now I get why no one used to read my slides before."
Routine automation.
Generating 10 multi-level quiz questions for welders or electricians in a matter of minutes is now a reality, freeing up time for actual creativity.
"What used to take me hours now takes just 15 minutes."
ШІ — це асистент-методист, а не заміна викладачу.
Педагоги навчилися формувати промпти та вести діалог зі штучним інтелектом. Тепер ШІ генерує структуровані плани, матеріали презентацій тощо.
«Я нарешті зрозумів, як правильно формувати промпти для ШІ»
Дизайн має значення.
Учасники зрозуміли, що дотримання правил порожнього простору, використання чітких шрифтів та якісної кольорової палітри безпосередньо впливають на концентрацію уваги студентів.
«Тепер розумію, чому мої слайди раніше не читали»
Автоматизація рутини.
Генерація 10 різнорівневих питань для зварювальників чи електриків за лічені хвилини — це реальність, яка звільняє час для творчості.
«Те, на що я витрачала години, тепер займає 15 хвилин»
Offline Intensive
Thanks to the cooperation between the EdUP project, the Swisscontact foundation, and Technomatix, educators successfully certified their skills. They are now fully equipped to implement AI tools and modern instructional design standards in their classrooms.
