#1 Digital Technologies integration in the classroom

Schools and higher education institutions are gradually implementing the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the classrooms. Consequently, the teaching -and learning- processes are still to be reinvented and teachers relentlessly face new ways of dealing with their profession. The purpose of this track is to provide a forum to discuss the challenges posed by these technologies in the teaching profession and to offer practical answers for teachers to better make use of them (i.e., not only the technical mastery but also the application of pedagogical strategies to promote students’ learning).

It has been demonstrated that transferring existing programs or traditional lectures does not represent authentic ways of technology integration. The move from teacher-centered instruction to student based learning using interactive environments requires more complex solutions. It is therefore crucial for teachers (both pre-service and in-service) to be able to efficiently use these new tools. Teacher education programmes must then provide the means, models and frameworks to cope with the needs for the new forms of teaching and learning.

The main topics regarding this track are related but not limited to the following ones:

Pre-service and in-service professional development education.
Teacher Mentoring and coaching.
Online and blended teaching
Self-study to make sense of new ways of online teaching
Promotion of web based learning, e-learning, and learning objects in classroom.
Teachers’ technological competences and skills in classroom.

Teachers’ practical knowledge (content, pedagogical and technological)
Teachers’ Collaborative Learning and Teachers’ beliefs.
New teaching methodologies (e.g., gamification).
Action research and reflection processes for ICT.
Educational inclusion (Challenges, accessibility, awareness and tools).

#2 AI for education

In recent years, there has been a great development in Technology Enhanced Learning, caused greatly by the distance learning exponential growth due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, many applications of data analysis and modeling of learning processes, based on emergent AI techniques and method such as machine learning and deep learning, have been proposed. In line with this trend, the main goal of this track, connected to the MIS4Tel 2023 conference, is to discuss and evaluate the contribution that AI, as one of the Technology Enhanced Learning approaches, is bringing to the educational field, especially in the last years. This track is intended to be a great opportunity for researchers and practitioners in the field, both to discuss new ideas and to explore some important aspects regarding the close relationship between AI from an application and theoretical point of view.

The topics of interest for this special session include, but are not limited to:

Deep Learning and education
IoT applications in education
MOOCs
Peer Assessment
IRT
