Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Education (Ai4Ed)

Scope

With the introduction of advanced generative AI technologies like ChatGPT, the educational sector is exploring the terrain of AI and its impact on teaching methods. As educators adjust to these rapidly changing tools and monitor student engagement with them, many are still in the process of defining their personal stances on how these developments affect their classrooms.

The exact influence of generative AI on higher education remains uncertain, as these technologies are swiftly advancing in their sophistication and application. However, it is clear that generative AI is creating a realm of new opportunities, simultaneously raising substantial issues regarding academic integrity, ethical considerations, accessibility, and bias.

Aligned with this development, the primary objective of this workshop, associated with the MIS4TEL2024 Conference, is to examine and assess the role of Generative AI as a facet of Technology Enhanced Learning and its impact on education, particularly in recent times. This workshop aims to provide an excellent platform for experts and professionals in the sector to exchange innovative concepts and to delve into the significant elements that characterize the intricate link between AI's practical deployment and its underlying theory.
