Introduction:
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping the educational landscape, making it a critical pillar for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) within a Sustainable Society (SS). The integration of cutting-edge AI technology into educational ecosystems to create adaptive, flexible, and future-ready learning environments is the main topic of this special session. It seeks to investigate how cutting-edge AI algorithms, machine learning, deep learning, predictive analytics, and learning-trajectory modelling can personalize educational experiences , may improve student outcomes, optimise teaching strategies, and customise educational experiences. This session will provide researchers and practitioners a platform to exchange innovative results, address ethical challenges, and work together on AI-driven solutions that empower educators and students for a sustainable future by bridging the gap between theoretical AI advancements and real-world pedagogical applications.
 

 

Topics:
The session invites original research contributions, case studies, and review articles on topics including, but not limited to:

1. Machine Learning & Deep Learning in Education: Applications of neural networks, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and computer vision for automated assessment, educational content generation, and real-time student engagement analysis.
2. Predictive Analytics in Education: Utilizing AI algorithms to predict student performance, identify at-risk learners, and forecast dropout rates to enable timely, data-driven interventions.
3. Learning Trajectory Modeling: Analyzing and mapping student knowledge acquisition trajectories over time to optimize curriculum design, recommend resources, and personalize long-term learning plans.
4. Advanced AI Algorithms for Adaptive Learning: Development and evaluation of novel algorithms that dynamically adjust the difficulty, pacing, and modality of educational content based on real-time learner feedback and cognitive states.
5. Generative AI for Teaching and Learning: Leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI to create interactive learning materials, virtual teaching assistants, and immersive, simulation-based educational environments.
6. Ethical AI, Fairness, and Privacy in EdTech: Addressing algorithmic bias, ensuring transparency, and safeguarding student data privacy when deploying machine learning models in educational settings.
7. AI for Inclusive and Accessible Education: Utilizing AI technologies to bridge educational divides, provide real-time translation/transcription, and support learners with special needs, thereby promoting lifelong learning for all members of a sustainable society.
8. AI-Driven Pedagogic: Exploring new teaching methodologies powered by AI, including game-based learning, intelligent feedback systems, and collaborative learning environments.
