Applications of Digital Technology and AI in Educational Settings

Dear Colleagues,

This call aims to investigate the transformative impact of digital technology and/or artificial intelligence (AI) in educational settings.

With rapid advancements, AI-powered tools like adaptive learning platforms, automated grading systems, chatbots, and a high number of different applications are changing the educational environment. Furthermore, digital technologies in general, including virtual classrooms settings or blended-learning situations as well as MOOCs, enhance accessibility and foster student engagement.

Therefore, we are seeking case studies and recent research exploring both the benefits and challenges of integrating digital technologies and AI in educational settings. Ethical considerations, teacher roles, open education, and digital equity are also of intererst, emphasizing the need for thoughtful implementation to maximize the potential of digital technologies in improving educational outcomes.
