Title: Revolutionizing Education: Multi-Agent Pedagogical AI Ecosystems for Personalized and Creative Learning

Abstract

This keynote explores how the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI is ushering in a new era in education—one where multi-agent pedagogical AI ecosystems empower both teachers and students. In today’s AI era, educators must master the design and deployment of pedagogical AI agents to tailor learning experiences that meet diverse student needs while fostering creativity and critical thinking.Dr. Nian-Shing Chen will demonstrate how these multi-agent systems extend the reach of traditional teaching by acting as dynamic proxies for human educators. While teachers focus on designing meaningful, theory-based pedagogical content, AI agents collaborate with them to execute adaptive learning activities, deliver real-time assessment and feedback, and support personalized learning pathways. With LLMs’ advanced ability to understand and generate nuanced human language, educators can now craft lesson plans using natural language prompts, effectively bridging the gap between human insight and AI’s information processing capabilities.Furthermore, Professor Chen will highlight recent advancements in multi-agent educational applications that not only support individualized learning but also stimulate creativity through interactive and exploratory activities. Live demonstrations will showcase the versatility of these agents using robotic interfaces and general-purpose devices such as tablets and computers, illustrating how they enable ubiquitous and transformative learning experiences.Join this keynote to discover the conceptual frameworks and design principles behind multi-agent pedagogical AI ecosystems and learn how they are revolutionizing education by making learning both deeply personalized and creatively engaging.

Title: Trends in teaching with technology: Research and practice connected

Abstract

Teachers and learners only benefit from research on emerging innovative technologies if research findings are translated into practical implications. In this keynote, six trends in teaching with technology are distinguished: Artificial Intelligence and adaptive learning, Gamification and game-based learning, Virtual and augmented reality (immersive technologies), Blended and hybrid learning, Learning analytics and data-driven instruction, and Collaborative and interaction tools. For each trend, research findings will be translated into practical implications for teachers and learners. In this way, research on teaching with technology can lead to a more evidence-informed teaching practice in all sectors of education.

Brief biography

Wilfried Admiraal is a psychologist and full professor at the Centre for the Study of Professions of Oslo Metropolitan University in Norway. One of his research interests is using technology for teaching and learning, such as online video, Virtual and Augmented Reality, games and gamification, and AI.Other projects relate to the attrition of early-career and late-career teachers, schools as a safe and democratic learning environment, and students’ and teachers’ information literacy.
