Call For Papers - CFP

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Learning

AI is the most significant driver of innovation, moving from simple automation to complex cognitive support.

Generative AI for Content Creation:

Automated lesson plan generation for teachers.

AI-powered video summarization and highlight extraction.

Synthetic voice and video avatars for multilingual instruction.

AI Tutoring & Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS):

24/7 personalized chatbot tutors (e.g., Khanmigo).

Real-time feedback on open-ended essay writing.

Socratic-style questioning to lead students to answers without giving them away.

Predictive Learning Analytics:

Early warning systems to identify students at risk of dropping out.

Analyzing behavioral data to predict future academic performance.

Optimizing resource allocation based on student engagement patterns.

2. Immersive & Extended Reality (XR)

These technologies bridge the gap between abstract theory and "hands-on" experience.

Virtual Reality (VR) Classrooms:

Virtual "field trips" to historical sites or outer space.

Simulated laboratories for dangerous or expensive chemistry experiments.

Medical and surgical simulations for high-stakes training.

Augmented Reality (AR) in Textbooks:

3D overlays on 2D diagrams (e.g., seeing a moving engine over a physics book).

Interactive posters and flashcards for early childhood education.

Mixed Reality (MR) & Holograms:

Remote "guest speakers" appearing as 3D holograms in a lecture hall.

Collaborative design of 3D architectural models in a shared physical space.

3. Credentialing & Infrastructure

Innovation is also changing the "currency" of education—how we prove what we know.

Blockchain for Education:

Tamper-proof digital diplomas and transcripts.

Self-sovereign identity (students owning their own lifelong learning records).

Automated verification of credentials for employers.

Micro-credentials & Nano-degrees:

Stackable certifications for specific workforce skills (e.g., Python coding, Data Ethics).

Digital badges for "soft skills" like leadership and empathy.

Edge Computing & 5G in EdTech:

Reducing latency for real-time collaborative VR environments.

Providing high-speed learning access in rural or underserved areas via satellite/5G.

4. Pedagogy-First Innovations

These focus on the psychological and social aspects of learning, enhanced by technology.

Gamification & Edutainment:

Adaptive difficulty levels that keep students in the "Flow State."

Narrative-driven learning (turning a curriculum into an RPG adventure).

Leaderboards and badges that reward "grit" rather than just high scores.

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Tech:

Biofeedback devices to help students manage test anxiety.

AI-driven "sentiment analysis" to monitor student well-being in digital forums.

Virtual interpersonal skill workshops using XR.

Microlearning Platforms:

"Bite-sized" modules (3–5 minutes) optimized for mobile devices.

Spaced repetition algorithms to ensure long-term knowledge retention.

5. Inclusive & Accessible Design

Ensuring technology reduces the digital divide rather than widening it.

Assistive AI Tools:

Real-time speech-to-text and text-to-speech for visually or hearing-impaired students.

AI-powered "simplified language" tools for students with cognitive disabilities.

Offline EdTech Solutions:

Low-cost hardware (e.g., ASANKA) for communities without internet access.

Solar-powered digital libraries for remote regions.

Multilingual Translation Tools:

Real-time translation of live lectures.

Culturally localized content that adapts examples and idioms to the learner's background.
