Offer Description
Scientific Advisor: Cátia Rafaela Ferreira Medeiros da Silva Coelho (ist165165)
Co-advisor(s): Filipe Rafael Joaquim (ist30520), Departamento de Física - IST.
Organic Unit: Department of Engineering and Management
Scholarship Theme: Supply Chain Management
Duration: 4 months
Maximum Duration Including Renewals: 4 months
Objectives
The research fellow is expected to develop a set of innovative learning materials for Supply Chain Management using artificial intelligence models. These materials should contribute to improving the teaching and learning process through the creation of interactive, adaptive and scientifically rigorous educational resources, suited to different levels of knowledge and learning needs.
Work Plan
The work plan aims to investigate, design, develop and validate digital learning content for Nuclear Physics using artificial intelligence models and the Upstack.AI platform. In an initial phase, existing educational resources and the potential applications of artificial intelligence in Chain Supply Management education will be analysed, followed by the definition of the topics, learning objectives and skills to be developed. Scientifically rigorous and pedagogically appropriate materials will then be produced, including explanatory texts, examples, solved problems, exercises of increasing difficulty, conceptual questions and assessment tools. These resources will be organised and implemented on the Upstack.AI platform, making use of functionalities related to content generation, activity creation, automated assessment, formative feedback and the adaptation of learning pathways to students’ needs and difficulties. Particular attention will be given to t

he validation of responses generated by artificial intelligence models, in order to ensure their scientific accuracy, clarity and suitability for the educational context. The developed materials will be tested and refined through an iterative process, taking into account their functionality, ease of use and pedagogical effectiveness. At the end of the project, a report will be prepared describing the methodology adopted, the materials produced, the results obtained, and the main opportunities and limitations identified in the use of artificial intelligence for teaching and learning Chain Supply Management.
