[CfP] AI and Data-driven Technologies for Personalized, Inclusive, and Equitable Learning #hcii27 #conference

I will organize a parallel session in the context of the 14th International Conference on Learning and Collaboration Technologies (LCT 2027), an Affiliated Conference of HCI International 2027 (HCII 2027). This session is scheduled to take place between 28 – 30 July as a ‚hybrid‘ event.

My parallel session proposal is entitled:
„AI and Data-driven Technologies for Personalized, Inclusive, and Equitable Learning“

Session description:
The session “AI and Data-driven Technologies for Personalized, Inclusive, and Equitable Learning” explores emerging trends, technologies, and pedagogical innovations shaping education in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. It examines how artificial intelligence, self regulated learning environments, open educational resources (OER), and data-driven approaches are redefining teaching and learning. Experts should share research and case studies highlighting new models for personalized, inclusive, and sustainable digital education. Key topics include the integration of AI in education, the impact of learning analytics on student success, and strategies for fostering digital literacy and equity across diverse learning contexts. The session will also discuss the challenges of ethics, privacy, and accessibility, emphasizing the need for open, collaborative frameworks and global best practices. Participants will gain insights into future-ready skills and the critical role of innovation in shaping equitable, high-quality learning experiences for the next generation.

Rückschau GMW 2008

Klar, nachdem ich ja an der GWM 2008 teilgenommen habe, muss ich zumindest eine kurze Zusammenfassung schreiben.
Sehr positiv und großes Lob an die Veranstalter – ich habe noch keine Konferenz erlebt mit einem derartig schnellen WLAN Netz UND offenen LAN-Dosen. Gratulation, dass war vorbildlich und das sollte wirklich bald Standard sein.
Inhaltlich ist mir besonders die Keynote von Tom Reeves in Erinnerung welcher vorallem den Begriff „conative domain“ aufgreift und eine starke Bewegung der Bildungsinstitutionen in diese Richtung fordert. Man sollte das auf alle Fälle im Auge behalten.
Weiters waren wir auch sehr aktiv eingebunden bei dieser Konferenz und dank meines Kollegen Walther gibt es einige visuelle „Erinnerungen“ daran.
