On Friday, November 6, the annual educational conference “Off to Secondary School!”, organised by the educational portal srednja.hr, took place. Assistant Professor Lana Batinić, PhD, a collaborator on the BrAIn project, participated in a panel discussion entitled “How Is Artificial Intelligence Performing in the Classroom?” alongside Aleksandra Mudrinić Ribić, Assistant Director of the Sector for the Development and Application of Technologies and Innovations in Education at CARNET, a partner in the project, and Milka Fofonjka, a mathematics teacher at the Second Primary School in Bjelovar.

Assistant Professor Batinić shared her experiences of how artificial intelligence is transforming teaching and working with university students.

The nomination was submitted by her students in recognition of her teaching and contribution to their education.
