Accelerated by AI, these billion-dollar technologies ultimately promise to bring all the potential of the internet\u00a0\u00a0&#8211; and all its pitfalls &#8211; up off the screen and out into real classrooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Educators are already dealing with AI-driven un-reality: slop, perception alteration and even\u00a0nudification all mediated via mobile screens. As smart glasses proliferate, AIs will become everyday assistants entwined with our everyday experience of reality &#8211; and will also increasingly allow users to radically reskin reality itself. And, potentially, allow giant platform-holders to curate versions of reality for their users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not sci-fi anymore. Veteran XR experience designer and Visiting Fellow at King&#8217;s College London Rob Morgan will present provocative questions about the huge potential learning value of these technologies &#8211; and the risks they could represent to the consensual foundations of our reality.

Ubiquitous access to these capabilities changes the definition of what it means to learn and to be educated. Skills once reserved to the domain of experts are now in the hands of everyday people, while most every discipline is devising new models, methods and pragmatics of work alongside, or teaming with, these new tools. This challenges educators along a number of fronts, impacting how they teach, what they teach, and even what it means to teach. Today&#8217;s educator in a world of AI is responsible for far more than passing along knowledge (indeed, the machine can do most of that). We will be responsible for challenging students both young and old to find new ways of seeing and creating, leading them through demonstration of dedication, resilience and passion, and modeling for them the best values of civil and social responsibility, contribution and care.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will then open up the discussion with Stephen to include inputs from our panellists and conference attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*Stephen Downes will be joining us online<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:22% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/07\/Agne-Limante-756x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45925 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/07\/Agne-Limante-756x1024.jpg 756w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/07\/Agne-Limante-222x300.jpg 222w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/07\/Agne-Limante-768x1040.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/07\/Agne-Limante-1134x1536.jpg 1134w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/07\/Agne-Limante-1512x2048.jpg 1512w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/07\/Agne-Limante-370x501.jpg 370w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/07\/Agne-Limante-270x366.jpg 270w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/07\/Agne-Limante-570x772.jpg 570w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/07\/Agne-Limante-740x1002.jpg 740w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/07\/Agne-Limante-600x813.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/files\/2025\/07\/Agne-Limante-scaled.jpg 1890w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/content.media-and-learning.eu\/node\/4483\/lightbox2\" target=\"_blank\" data-lity><strong>Agne Limante<\/strong><\/a>, Legal Officer at the European AI Office, DG CNECT, the European Commission &amp; Chief Researcher at the Law Institute of the Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The EU Artificial Intelligence Act and Its Implications for AI in Education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This presentation considers the impact of the EU AI Act on the growing use of AI in education, with particular attention to the AI Act\u2019s risk-based approach to regulation.

This talk proposes a third path: the augmented educator \u2014 a teacher who deliberately uses AI as an extension of professional expertise rather than a substitute for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers today face well-documented pressures: cognitive overload from administrative and preparatory tasks, growing heterogeneity in student needs, the challenge of providing timely and personalised feedback, and mounting tensions around authentic assessment. When thoughtfully appropriated, AI holds genuine potential to address these challenges and restore space for what matters most: the pedagogical relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing on Rabardel&#8217;s instrumental approach, we explore how generative AI tools become meaningful instruments only when teachers develop purposeful, scheme-driven uses aligned with their pedagogical intentions. Laurillard&#8217;s Conversational Framework further provides a structured lens to map AI affordances onto the learning dialogue \u2014 between teacher and student, concept and context, design and reflection \u2014 ensuring that adoption remains pedagogically grounded rather than opportunistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Augmentation, however, demands critical agency. AI competency in higher education must include ethical reasoning \u2014 around bias, transparency, data governance, and the power dynamics embedded in algorithmic systems. Frameworks and ethics alone are not enough: what ultimately defines the augmented educator is the deliberate, informed choice to remain the driving force of their own pedagogical practice \u2014 curious, critical, and fully in control.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\" style=\"border-color: #848484; \" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-block-\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title-wrap\" style=\"background-color: #848484;\" aria-controls=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-2-36459f21-0b09-4bf6-912d-8d90fd7bb9de\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title ub-content-toggle-title-36459f21-0b09-4bf6-912d-8d90fd7bb9de\" style=\"color: #ffffff; \"><strong>Pre-conference workshop: AI practices and policies \u2013 exploring the journey thus far<\/strong> (16 June 2026)<\/p>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-toggle-wrap right\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-state-indicator wp-block-ub-chevron-down\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-content-wrap ub-hide\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-2-36459f21-0b09-4bf6-912d-8d90fd7bb9de\">\n\n<p><em>16 Jun 2026, 13:30 \u2013 17:00 CEST<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pre-conference workshop explores how higher education can prepare graduates for future professions and integrate AI to enhance teaching and learning.

From One-Size-Fits-All to Flexible Learning Pathways<\/strong><br>Digital media makes it possible to move beyond a single way of teaching the same content. Instead of one fixed format, educators can offer multiple options, such as videos, short texts, interactive activities, or audio, allowing students to choose what works best for them. This theme explores how to design flexible learning pathways while ensuring fairness, shared learning outcomes, and meaningful assessment for all students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. AI-Driven Co-Creation<\/strong><br>Generative AI tools for text, image, video, speech, including multimodal GenAI, synthetic video\/audio, translation\/localisation, AI storyboarding, accessibility automation (captions, audio description), and AI-assisted editing are transforming how media is produced in higher education. Proposals may also address provenance and trust in an era of synthetic media (C2PA, disclosure, institutional credibility). This theme explores how these technologies enable learners and academic teaching staff to move from consuming media to co-creating content with AI, and how this shift reshapes authorship, creativity, assessment, and pedagogical roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Playful and narrative-driven learning experiences<\/strong><br>Play, storytelling, and simulation are increasingly used in higher education to design engaging learning experiences. This theme explores how narratives, game mechanics, and multimodal media, including XR simulations, branching video, interactive storytelling, spatial audio, game engines, and virtual production, can support learning goals, assessment, and inclusion. Contributions should critically examine sustainability, scalability, accessibility, and the balance between meaningful learning and novelty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Augmented agency: learners, media agents &amp; AI companions<\/strong><br>AI agents or media companions, RAG\/knowledge assistants, AI tutors embedded in the LMS, and companion interfaces (voice, avatar, chat) that scaffold, tutor, co-author \u2014 what does it mean to give agency, control, transparency, and how do we address the implications of these emerging roles in higher education?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5<\/strong>.\u00a0<strong>Media,\u00a0memory &amp;\u00a0futures<\/strong>\u00a0<br>In higher education, so much of what we create \u2014 from videos and simulations to online courses \u2014 can be short-lived. How do we preserve digital heritage, keep valuable media accessible and manage versioning as technologies and formats change\u00a0in a sustainable way?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Evidence-based and responsible use of learning technology<\/strong><br>Under this theme researchers, teaching staff, designers, and policymakers are invited to separate myth from evidence in learning technology. Which tools genuinely enhance learning, which fall short, and why? Contributions could draw on research studies, data, standards, interoperability and case analyses to reflect on the effectiveness, ethical implications, and responsible use of technology in higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Rethinking Assessment and Learning in the Age of AI<\/strong><br>Assessment in higher education is evolving beyond traditional exams and essays. Educators are exploring new forms of assessment, including portfolios, podcasts, XR simulations, and interactive dashboards, while also focusing on learning processes rather than depending solely upon final products. At the same time, the widespread adoption of AI by students raises important questions about critical thinking, authorship, creativity, and academic integrity. This theme invites contributions that examine both innovative assessment practices and the broader consequences of AI on learning, teaching, and evaluation. The challenge is designing assessments that are meaningful, fair, and trusted while supporting authentic student learning. Proposals may address authentic assessment using media production workflows, iterative process evidence, provenance tools, watermarking, and assessment design for AI co-authorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Using analytics to refine and adapt learning media<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of analytics tools to help educators continuously refine and adapt learning content is on the increase. This theme welcomes examples of how engagement data, A\/B testing, and media-level metrics are used to evolve courses and media in real time, improve learner engagement, and respond to students\u2019 needs. Emphasis is on practice, iteration, and actionable strategies. Proposals may also address privacy-safe media analytics, video engagement analytics, and classroom AV analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9.<\/strong> <strong>Mapping the skills and resources needed by educational media producers at a time of dwindling budgets<\/strong><br>The rapid pace of change in media production within higher education brings a number of challenges. As budgets shrink, roles blur, and new tools emerge, the boundaries between professional media creators, educators, students, and non-professionals are shifting. What does it mean to be a professional media producer in 2026? How are student skillsets outpacing (or reshaping) staff expertise? How can institutions maintain high production standards with reduced budgets and rising expectations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10<\/strong>.\u00a0<strong>Gamification &amp; playful design<\/strong>\u00a0<br>Gamification is no longer just points and badges \u2014 today\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0deeply embedded in learning environments through quests, narratives, AI-driven challenges, peer review systems, and game-like assessments.\u00a0How do we ensure such gamification is sustainable, inclusive, aligned with learning goals,\u00a0scalable\u00a0and not just a novelty effect?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11. Designing learning for cognitive balance<\/strong><br>How can we design courses and learning media that challenge students without overwhelming them? This theme explores strategies to reduce unnecessary cognitive load while supporting engagement and learning, such as the use of breaks, pacing, microlearning, narrative structure, and multimodal content. It also addresses ways to promote resilience, focus, intrinsic motivation, and well-being in high-pressure higher education environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12. Through the learner\u2019s ears and eyes \u2013 finding ways to ensure student feedback<\/strong><br>There is often a gap between what educators, designers, and institutions aim to achieve with media and how students actually experience it. While staff may design with clear intentions, learners frequently interpret, adapt, or repurpose media in unexpected ways. Examining these differences highlights the importance of student agency, feedback, and co-creation, and helps us understand how media genuinely supports \u2014 or sometimes fails to support \u2014 learning in higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>13.\u00a0<strong>Beyond the\u00a0degree<\/strong>\u00a0<br>Micro-credentials, lifelong learning, and skills for unpredictable futures \u2014 how do we rethink recognition and achievement?\u00a0What role should CTLs play in ensuring quality, equity, and sustainability in credentialing beyond the degree?\u00a0How can learners be better supported in navigating lifelong learning journeys across disciplines, platforms, and borders?\u00a0And how do audio-visual departments contribute?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14. Lifelong learning without barriers: digital media for inclusive, flexible education<\/strong><br>Digital media is transforming how learners access education, acquire skills, and demonstrate achievement. Sessions addressing this theme will explore how digital tools and media can support lifelong learning journeys, remove barriers to participation, and enable recognition beyond traditional degrees. Proposals may address accessible learning designs, micro-credentials, adaptive media, and strategies for inclusive, flexible, and sustainable higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15. Centres for Teaching and Learning: Driving Innovation<\/strong><br>Centres for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) play a key role in supporting faculty, enhancing teaching, and fostering innovation in higher education. This theme invites CTL staff and practitioners to share case studies, lessons learned, and practical insights on operational management, curriculum design, pedagogical initiatives, staffing requirements, faculty development, and cross-departmental collaboration. Proposals may address innovative learning spaces and renewed classroom strategies such as hyflex delivery, lecture capture policy, accessibility, remote participation, spatial audio, camera tracking. Proposals can include service design for AI, XR, studio support, hybrid classrooms, maker\/media labs, and workflow automation for media production at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>16. Next-Generation Educational Media Production and Learning Environments (Audio, Video, XR &amp; AI in Practice)<\/strong><br>Higher and further education are entering a new era of educational media production, where quality expectations are rising while budgets and time remain constrained. This theme focuses on the practical use of innovative technologies and workflows that enable institutions to design, produce, and deliver high-quality multimedia learning experiences at scale. It is aimed particularly at audiovisual and media professionals, XR developers, studio and learning space specialists, learning designers, and CTLs supporting teaching staff. Proposals may address approaches, tools, and case studies on topics such as AI-assisted production pipelines (pre-production, editing, captioning and localisation), virtual production, immersive and spatial media, XR content creation and deployment, innovative learning spaces, advanced lecture capture and hybrid classroom ecosystems, interactive and narrative media formats, and sustainable models for re-use, archiving, and distribution. Sessions may explore staff training models, quality frameworks, service design, equipment choices, workflow automation, governance and standards, and ways to maximise educational impact while ensuring accessibility, ethics, and responsible innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>17. Co-Creating Learning: partnerships between students, teaching staff, and CTLs<\/strong><br>Co-creation can enrich higher education, but it requires thoughtful design and management. This theme explores how teaching staff, CTLs, and students can collaborate to develop courses, learning materials, and educational experiences. Proposals may address practical insights, strategies, or case studies on maximising collaboration, balancing roles, and achieving meaningful learning outcomes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"gap: 20px;\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-37147691-374e-475c-b3ba-d1fc43ba3216\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/media-and-learning.eu\/product\/media-and-learning-2026-conference-participation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ub-button-block-main  \" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #009de0;
