Insights on Technology-Supported Teaching, Learning and Teacher Development in Contexts of Low Resources and Marginalisation
Remote access to educational resources and opportunities for study or professional development increasingly depend on continuous access to technology, particularly smartphones and other mobile devices. Many people find themselves excluded, due to limited personal and local resources as well as multiple forms of marginalisation. In this session we present experiences and research findings from recent funded projects in low resource settings in several countries, with a special focus on Asia and Africa. The common theme in these projects has been a focus on marginalised or resource-constrained educators and students, including refugees and those who are from marginalised minority ethnic backgrounds. We draw attention to the aspirations and motivations of our research participants in their education contexts and share important insights into their experiences with technology.
Moderator: Denise Whitelock
Speakers: Agnes Kukulska-Hulme, Koula Charitonos and Saraswati Dawadi

Future Skills for a World Shaped by AI
“AIComp – Future Skills for a Life World Shaped by AI” marks a pioneering endeavor in the realm of educational and professional development. It is developed through the NextEducation Research Group and presents the most comprehensive study to date on the subject. It sheds light on the evolving requirements that professionals face in both their careers and personal lives in an era increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence.
This groundbreaking study stands out as the first to adopt a fully action-competence-oriented approach, reconstructing an empirical competency model directly from the data gathered from over 1,600 professionals. The European skill model AIComp (Artificial Intelligence Competences) was meticulously developed through the collaborative efforts of the AI-Campus and AI-Campus Hub projects, alongside with 13 partners from education, research and industry.
By delving into the competency needs that emerge as AI becomes more integral to our professional and personal spheres, AIComp offers invaluable insights into preparing for a future where artificial intelligence shapes significant aspects of our existence. This study not only maps out the terrain of future skills but also pioneers a methodological approach that promises to influence how we understand and respond to the demands of a world transformed by AI.

GenAI Role Related to OER
How Teaching and Learning Can Benefit From It
GenAIs play a crucial role in Open Educational Resources (OER) by improving the accessibility, equity, inclusivity and effectiveness of teaching and learning materials. Through advanced natural language processing and personalised learning algorithms, GenAIs can tailor content to the individual needs of learners, promoting a more adaptive and engaging educational experience. In addition, they contribute to the creation of high-quality OER by generating educational content, assessments and interactive resources, expanding the availability of diverse and innovative educational materials. Accordingly, it is important to take the lead in the AI era. This session was organised in collaboration with ICDE, OER Advocacy Committee and discuss with experts on the topic of GenAI, OER and high-quality teaching and learning in the digital age.
Moderator: Sandra Kučina Softić
Speakers: Ebba Ossiannilsson, Gila Kurtz, Rosa Leonor Ulloa Cazarez and Ilona Buchem
