The main objective of this new course format - Training Clinic - is to provide participants with new knowledge and skills in the field of training in order to conduct training courses more effectively and create better training material. We invite trainers and scientists interested in training to take part! The content of the training clinic is specifically designed for current and aspiring trainers seeking to enhance their expertise and effectiveness in their field.
The session also grants the possibility to exchange experiences between trainers and help connecting trainers. The course will be divided into different modules to facilitate the learning process. It will include a combination of lectures, practical exercises and case studies. This provides participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. However, the focus should be on the exchange of problem-solving treatments.

Join us for the next Training Clinic, where we will tackle the critical topic of How to Avoid AI Problems in Training Courses.

In this session, we will address the growing challenges and unintended friction that artificial intelligence can introduce into the classroom. As AI tools become deeply embedded in learning environments, trainers face new dynamics—from learners trusting AI-generated answers over expert instruction to the stigma and backlash trainers might experience when incorporating AI-generated slides or materials into their courses.

Discover practical strategies for navigating these friction points and establishing clear expectations around AI usage. We’ll discuss how to address AI-driven misinformation gracefully, maintain your authority and credibility as an instructor, and transparently integrate AI tools into your teaching without being perceived as "taking shortcuts." Whether you’re trying to manage student reliance on chatbots or looking for ethical, effective ways to leverage AI in course preparation, this edition will offer actionable guidance and real-world solutions.

Don’t miss this opportunity to refine your instructional strategies, protect the trust in your classroom, and confidently lead courses in the age of AI!
