I was invited to give a short talk about „AI avatars and their application in MOOCs“ for the workshop „Exploring the Futures of Open Education“ acting as an Open Education Week event.
To mark the 2026 edition of Open Education Week (OEWeek 2026) in Portugal, the Distance Education and eLearning Laboratory (LE@D) at Universidade Aberta (UAb) is hosting an online event to discuss the challenges currently facing Open Education, in a context marked by the impact of AI and other emerging technologies. Entitled „Exploring the Futures of Open Education“, the programme will feature Professor Marisol Ramírez Montoya from the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (Tec de Monterrey), Mexico, and Professor Martin Ebner from Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), Austria, who will share their experiences and reflections on this topic.
