Learning, Teaching and Assessment in an AI-Enabled World: 
Re-balancing Innovation, Integrity, and Inclusion

Tuesday, 12th January 2027

Artificial Intelligence is having an impact on every aspect of academic life from curriculum development and assessment strategies to academic research and supporting our students. It is raising important questions. We welcome submissions that critically examine, creatively reimagine, and practically advance learning, teaching, and assessment in higher education in this dynamic context of AI. Contributions are welcome as interactive workshops, practice papers, research papers, or lightning talks. 

Sub-themes include (but are not limited to):

  • Re-imagining Learning and Teaching with AI Exploring how AI is transforming pedagogical approaches, learning design, and student engagement across disciplines. 

  • Assessment, Feedback and Academic Integrity Examining how assessment and feedback practices can develop while maintaining academic standards, authenticity, and trust.

  • Inclusion, Equity and Student Success Investigating how AI can support more inclusive learning environments while addressing concerns relating to bias, access, participation, and equity.

  • Ethics, Policy, and Responsible AI Considering the ethical, legal and governance implications of AI in higher education.

  • Developing Future Graduates and Educators Exploring how higher education can prepare students and educators to thrive in an AI-rich society, workplace, and knowledge economy.

  • Research, Scholarship and Evidence-Informed Practice Focusing on research, evaluation and scholarly inquiry that deepen understanding of AI's impact on higher education and inform effective practice.

We invite proposals in any of the following formats:

  • Interactive Workshops (45 minutes): Active involvement of delegates in exploring a related theme through group discussions, case studies, or practical exercises.
  • Practice Papers (15 minutes): These presentations should focus on practical experiences, successful initiatives, or innovative practices that have proven effective in addressing educational challenges.
  • Research Papers (20 minutes): These presentations should contribute new insights and findings in educational research, providing evidence-based approaches connected with the conference theme. 
  • Lightning Talks (10 minutes): These concise presentations offer an opportunity to share thoughts, ideas, or projects in a brief and engaging manner, encouraging dynamic discussions and networking.
