✦ AI Summary
The Chungnam AI Digital Learning Center announced on August 24 and 25 that it will run "AI classes brought to our neighborhood townships, towns, and neighborhoods" in cooperation with the Smart City Promotion Division of Cheonan City.
The classes were held at Ssangyong 1-dong Administrative Welfare Center and Byeongcheon-myeon Administrative Welfare Center for middle-aged and older adults, and were operated in connection with village head and resident representative meetings and resident autonomy groups through Edubus and dispatched instructors.
Participants practiced generative AI concepts and ChatGPT use, prompt writing, information searches, writing and summarizing, and AI image generation, and the course recorded a 100% completion rate with all participants finishing.
As the use of generative AI spreads into everyday life and work, the share of hands-on AI experience programs in digital basic education is also increasing. AI education for middle-aged and older adults is likewise shifting from concept-based explanations to practical, real-life applications. The practical content includes question writing, information searches, and content creation.
In response, the Chungnam AI Digital Learning Center announced on August 24 and 25 that it will run "AI classes brought to our neighborhood townships, towns, and neighborhoods." The program was designed in cooperation with the Smart City Promotion Division of Cheonan City to support generative AI learning within residents' daily living areas, and the target audience is middle-aged and older adults. The classes will be held at Ssangyong 1-dong Administrative Welfare Center and Byeongcheon-myeon Administrative Welfare Center.
The program is being operated in connection with existing local gatherings such as village head and resident representative meetings and resident autonomy groups. Support for the program comes in the form of Edubus and dispatching instructors. Through this approach, the center expects to ease residents' burden of traveling and participating in classes.
The classes begin with an understanding of the concept of generative AI and its main functions, then move into hands-on practice using generative AI services such as ChatGPT, writing prompts to get the desired answers, information searches, writing and summarizing, and AI image generation. Participants entered prompts directly on their smartphones and checked the results, learning how to use generative AI in everyday life through the process.
In the latter part of the program, participants wrote prompts for the content they wanted and confirmed that the generated images changed depending on the questions and wording. They then turned their own ideas into images, and the finished images were printed on-site and handed to participants.
Instructor Lee Yeon-pil said that before the class, many participants found AI unfamiliar and difficult. He also explained that after directly seeing the results of AI organizing long documents, participants said they could use it in daily life. He added that the class progressed through a process in which participants asked questions themselves and checked the results, and said the session was a time to understand both what AI can do and its limits.
The course recorded a 100% completion rate, with all participants finishing the program. Chungnam Province said the course was meaningful because it allowed middle-aged and older adults encountering generative AI for the first time to step by step experience prompt writing, result checking, and content creation, while also learning how to use the technology safely.
Based on this, the Chungnam AI Digital Learning Center plans to begin with this program and then sequentially run mobile AI classes tailored to demand in each township, town, and neighborhood of Cheonan. The current target audience is all residents of Chungcheongnam-do, and applications can be made through a visit to the official AI Digital Learning Center website. Inquiries can receive detailed guidance through the call center.
