FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What institutions typically ask before engaging a critical educational technology consultancy.

What is Tecnoética consulting?

A specialised consultancy supporting educational institutions in the critical and ethical integration of digital technologies, focused on AI system evaluation, technological maturity diagnostics, pedagogical team training and institutional lectures.

Which institutions is this consultancy for?

Universities, federal institutes, public and private K-12 networks, educational NGOs, Brazil's Sistema S (SENAC, SESC, SENAI), education secretariats and organisations in general that adopt or intend to integrate digital technologies in educational contexts.

What does an AI Evaluation involve?

Critical and technical analysis of chatbots, virtual tutors and AI assistants used in student interactions or teacher support. Includes stress testing to identify hallucinations, biases, robustness failures and pedagogical limits. Output: a report with mapped risks and practical mitigation recommendations.

What is a Readiness Assessment?

A structured audit of an institution's technological maturity before adopting new platforms or AI systems. It assesses infrastructure, data governance, team capacity and applicable regulatory frameworks. Produces an action plan with risks, gaps and guidelines for safe integration.

What is the difference between a lecture and a training programme?

Lectures are one-off interventions (1 to 3 hours) on technology, AI and education, delivered as keynotes, panels or conferences. Training programmes are medium- to long-term structured processes co-designed with the institution, with recurring sessions and critical foundations applied to the local context.

Are sessions in-person or remote?

Both. Lectures and training programmes can be delivered in person across Brazil or remotely via institutional platforms. Diagnostics and AI evaluations are often hybrid: part in person for context collection, part remote for analysis and reporting.

How quickly will I receive a response after contacting?

All messages sent through the form or to contato@tecnoetica.com.br receive a reply within 48 business hours.

Do you take engagements outside Santa Catarina or Brazil?

Yes. Based in Florianópolis (SC), Brazil, with engagements nationwide. International engagements are possible in Portuguese, English or Spanish, particularly for research projects or remote consulting.

How is this different from other consultancies?

The approach combines academic rigour with practical experience in both educational and corporate environments. The starting point is always to map before prescribing, identify risks before integrating technologies, strengthen institutional autonomy instead of creating dependency.
