About the Conference

Conference Theme:
Empowering Sustainable Learning through Generative AI

The rapid emergence of generative AI technologies has introduced unprecedented opportunities for personalized learning, pedagogical innovation, and administrative efficiency. Simultaneously, it raises critical questions related to ethics, equity, governance, environmental sustainability, and the evolving nature of human agency in learning. We welcome conceptual, empirical, theoretical, and design-based research that explores these dimensions, as well as practice-oriented work demonstrating scalable solutions.
