EDEN webinar: AI and Education: Enhancing Learning and Pedagogy

Topic:  AI and Education: Enhancing Learning and Pedagogy
Format: Presentations and discussion with participants
Description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming education across sectors, from vocational education and training and adult education to traditional academic settings. However, a pressing challenge remains: how can we harness AI tools to reinforce and support effective teaching and learning practices without disrupting or diminishing the critical role of educators or learners’ agency?
This 90-minute session brings together experts and  AIPioneers project (https://aipioneers.org/) researchers from the fields of education and AI to discuss strategies for leveraging AI technologies in ways that foster learners’ agency, preserve pedagogical integrity, and drive positive outcomes. The session will feature three key presentations, each addressing different aspects of AI in education, followed by a moderated discussion where participants can ask questions and engage with the presenters.
