This scenario describes how educators in Romania used the AI4AL Matching Tool to enhance their teaching activities and personalize learning for adults. Through this tool, educators and teachers were able to reflect on their skills and adapt their lessons to better meet the needs of each individual. The use of this artificial intelligence tool not only contributed to the assessment of competencies but also created a more personalized learning framework, thereby improving both the efficiency of the educational process and the satisfaction of the participants.

In this scenario, the main objective was to help educators better understand the needs and abilities of participants. By using the AI4AL Matching Tool, educators were able to personalize their lessons and assist participants in identifying their strengths and areas for improvement. This process helped create a more effective curriculum, leading to deeper learning and better adaptation of the lessons to each individual.
This was implemented at the Buziaș Educational Center, within the vocational school operating at the center, in Romania, where a diverse group of participants was involved. The participants had varied experiences and skills – some were engaged in schooling activities, while others were returning to education after a break. Although the level of digital literacy varied, the majority were eager to try new technologies, and the AI4AL platform proved to be a useful and accessible tool.
The AI4AL Matching Tool was used to assess the participants' skills and assist educators in structuring their lessons. The platform includes a user application that allows for the completion of a personalized profile and the generation of a CV based on the skills and achievements entered. Additionally, educators had access to the administration portal, which provided detailed information about the participants' progress.
The AI4AL Matching Tool had a significant impact on how the lessons were planned and delivered. Participants became more aware of their skills and gained a clearer understanding of how to apply these skills in their professional lives. Additionally, this process facilitated more personalized learning, and educators were able to adjust their methods to better support each participant on their educational journey.
The integration of the AI4AL Matching Tool into the educational process represents an excellent opportunity to use technology to enhance personalized learning. Educators who wish to use this platform should emphasize the importance of reflective-educational discussions that can be generated, as they help foster a deeper understanding of the participants' skills and needs.
