According to the results of the conference jury, Daryna Moshynets received an award in the Best Poster nomination and was awarded a certificate and a gift.
On July 3-6, 2022, the international Summer School for teachers was held with the support of the ERASMUS+KA1 project WORK4CE «Cross-domain competencies for healthy and safe work in the 21st century» (619034-EPP-1-2020-1-UA-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP), in which Anzhelika Parkhomenko (associate professor of the department of software tools), Iryna Zelenyova (associate professor of the department of computer systems and networks), Halyna Tabunshchik (professor of the department of software tools) and Tetyana Kolpakova (associate professor of the department of software tools) participated from the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic. The theme of the Summer School for teachers was «Problem-based and challenge-based learning to train basic skills in a project environment.» In particular, the following issues were considered:
– application of problem- and challenge-oriented learning for didactic purposes;
– how to plan, prepare and conduct flexible cross-border projects involving industry for educational purposes;
– how to choose a suitable project case and prepare it for further project work;
– how to build balanced student teams for better training of soft skills;
– how to work with Moodle as an e-learning environment;
– how to apply result-oriented assessment of educational activity.
In parallel with the Summer School for teachers, on July 4-8, 2022, with the support of the ViMaCs (Virtual Master Cooperation Data Science) project, funded by DAAD and aimed at creating a virtual educational and laboratory infrastructure for digital learning and a portfolio of modules in the field of Data Science, the Summer School on «Advanced Perspectives of Data Science» for students worked.
Students of the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University, West Ukrainian National University (Ternopil), Kyiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, and Lviv Polytechnic National University took part in the work of the school. Students from Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic studied and worked in teams: Daryna Moshynets (KNT-511m), Olena Tereshchenko (KNT-211m), Hanna Shilo (RT-619), postgraduate students of the department of information technology of electronic means Pavlo Anikin and Olha Kokhan.
During the Summer School for Master’s students, the following topics were considered: Artificial intelligence and data analysis; Business analytics and decision-making; Data collection and processing; Cloud data processing systems; Machine learning operations. Lectures were given to students by an international team of teachers, in particular from the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic: Serhiy Subbotin (head of the Department of Software Tools), Tetyana Kolpakova (associate professor of the Department of Software Tools), Nataliia Myronova (associate professor of the Department of Information Technologies of Electronic Tools). Students had the opportunity to apply their knowledge by solving a case provided by the Blacktron.AI company, and at the end of the week, the results of the teams’ work were presented to company representatives.
On July 6, 2022, in a hybrid format, a meeting of representatives of the consortium of the international educational project ERASMUS+KA1 WORK4CE «Cross-domain competencies for healthy and safe work in the 21st century» took place (619034-EPP-1-2020-1-UA-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP).
