With pleasures, I accepted the kind invitation to become Co-Chair of the new Practitioners, Industry, and Policy (PIP) track at the 26th AIED Conference. My colleagues Sreecharan Sankaranarayanan from Amazon (USA), Penghe Chen from the Beijing Normal University (China) and Emmanuel G. Blanchard from the Le Mans University (France) and me have developed special call for submission.
This Call is not asking for scientific papers, but contributions on the role of AI in industry and society, in relation to educational challenges and opportunities. Therefore, we are inviting practitioners, including teachers, educators, learners, education technology companies, product designers, and policy makers, to share AI in Education (AIED) examples and initiatives from industry, schools, higher education, workplaces, and society at-large. We expect this track to be a low barrier of entry allowing researchers to learn from practitioners and policy makers, and allowing practice and policy to be enriched, in turn, by rigorous evidence-based research:
After double-blind peer-reviews, we have selected 11 submissions for presentation during the main conference program of AIED 2025. In four thematic sessions, the practitioners, industry and policy representatives will highlight their design, experience and achievement.
All four PIP sessions with the 11 presentations can be found in the full AIED program by simply selecting the PIP track in the right navigation: We are looking forward to our discussions in Palermo!
