• Resumen

  • The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) is causing a sea change in education. To equip students to deal with this shift, it is essential to foster critical thinking and digital literacy through innovative pedagogical approaches. This paper presents PeerCards, a collaborative digital platform designed to enhance learning processes through peer-generated and peer-reviewed questions and answers. Although AI was not integrated into the pilot phase, this paper offers a conceptual example of how AI could function as a “peer” in future iterations, providing answers and feedback to support group learning. The study focuses on the collaborative nature of the platform, as observed in a pilot study conducted within the MA course in Translation Theories and Practices at the University of Turin. Involving 272 students across five language specializations, the study demonstrates how PeerCards fosters active participation, reflection, and peer learning. The results suggest that collaborative digital environments can effectively support language education and prepare students for the evolving role of AI in translation and language technologies.
