With the prompts2teach project, we wanted to enable teachers, trainers and educational institutions in vocational education and training – especially in the hospitality industry – to use artificial intelligence as a tool for creating, structuring and reflecting on learning materials in a systematic and quality-assured manner. The aim was to develop a methodology and process chain for AI-supported course creation that combines pedagogical, technological and ethical aspects. This was intended to teach teachers to use generative AI not as a substitute, but as a didactic tool to personalise learning processes, develop materials more efficiently and promote reflection skills. At the same time, a reference curriculum was to be created that would test and document the practical application of this methodology in Moodle courses. The project thus contributes to the digital transformation of vocational education and training, the integration of AI in teaching and training, and the sustainable anchoring of innovative teaching methods in the European educational space.
The prompts2teach project arose from the need to support teachers and trainers in vocational education – especially in the hospitality industry – with digital and didactic transformation. Many vocational schools and companies face the challenge of developing high-quality, practical learning materials without sufficient time, technical or methodological resources. At the same time, there was a lack of structured methodology on how generative AI can be used in a meaningful, transparent and ethical way in the teaching and learning process. The project prompts2teach responds to this gap by developing a process chain and methodology for AI-based course creation – from needs analysis and the selection of suitable tools to the creation of teaching content, quality assurance of the content and implementation in learning platforms. In this way, prompts2teach addresses key needs: reducing the workload of teachers, promoting AI skills, ensuring didactic quality and establishing a sustainable digital teaching culture in vocational training for the hospitality industry in Brandenburg.
