The Centre for Lifelong Learning of the Cyprus University of Technology, in collaboration with the CUTing Edge Limassol, is organizing a continuing professional education program titled:

''AI enhanced Virtual Application for educational and for professional purposes ( AI Virtual enhanced Training)''

Program Overview

The AI enhanced Virtual Application Training is an introductory program designed for beginners from both industry and education who want to explore the potential of Artificial Intelligence within immersive virtual environments.

This course combines theory with hands-on practice, guiding participants through the fundamentals of navigating virtual reality, selecting and applying AI-powered tools, and examining real-world case studies. Learners will engage in interactive sessions that encourage exploration, critical thinking, and practical application of concepts.

By the end of the training, participants will not only understand the basics of AI in virtual settings but will also be able to identify relevant applications for their own professional or educational context, evaluate their effectiveness, and provide constructive feedback on implementation.

Target Audience

Α. Beginners in various industries who want to understand and apply AI tools

Β. Educators and trainers interested in integrating AI into teaching and learning

The rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality is transforming both the workplace and the classroom. However, many professionals and educators lack the foundational knowledge and confidence to select and use these tools effectively.

This training responds to the need for accessible, beginner-friendly learning that bridges the gap between emerging technologies and practical application. It equips participants with:

• A clear understanding of how AI and VR can be applied in professional and educational contexts
• Hands-on experience with navigating virtual environments and applying AI tools in realistic scenarios
• Practical insights from case studies that demonstrate real-world impact

By addressing these needs, the program empowers educators and professionals to integrate AI and VR into their daily practices, enhancing productivity, creativity, and innovation.
