Περίληψη

European policy increasingly calls for AI-supported, data-informed teaching, yet distance professional development often treats AI literacy, pedagogy and ethics as separate domains. This study presents TENSILE, an Erasmus+ KA2 model for ethics-by-design AI professional development anchored in the humanities. The model integrates Community of Inquiry, TPACK and evidence-based PD principles through a six-module asynchronous Moodle course and a STEAM Digital Lab with curated tools, templates and 25 classroom-ready use cases in language and literature. Activities range from rule-based OULIPO generators to lightweight Python/NLP applications and ML for Kids–Scratch classifiers that make model behaviour observable. Safeguards, including privacy, transparency, provenance, fairness and human oversight, are embedded as routine checkpoints supported by public artefacts such as model cards, data cards and decision logs. Evaluation combines pilot artefacts with TAICS self-report data to examine competence development and fidelity of enactment. The study contributes a replicable, low-bandwidth model for scalable, ethics-aware AI integration.
