Join us for the fourth annual Seamless Learning Conference at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business!
WU Vienna is inviting all interested practitioners, policymakers and scholars to its 2025 Seamless Learning Conference. It will take place from 16-17 October, running from lunch to lunch, at WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business).
This year’s conference – “Molding minds – Melding modes” – welcomes contributions that critically explore the intersection of AI and assessment, the integration of XR and AI in teaching and learning, and experiential and immersive learning formats and environments.
We are looking for contributions! We welcome research-led submissions that either build on the author’s research or synthesise parts of the current discourse in the form of an analytical literature review. We are also looking forward to practice-oriented contributions linked to specific institutional or supra-institutional projects and initiatives with the potential to inspire other institutions.
Our programme will offer three tracks:
Track 1: Assessing AI/AI Assessing
This track explores the challenges and opportunities arising from AI with regard to student assessment: how it changes the way we need to assess to be able to evaluate the intended learning outcomes, rather than learners’ AI proficiency; but also, how it changes the scope of possibilities we have to conduct our assessments in a meaningful way.
Track 2: Learning across different “realities”
This track emphasises the growing importance of engaging students in immersive learning scenarios – and the role advanced technologies can play in creating an atmosphere that challenges learners to “stay in the moment” and help them prepare for “real-life scenarios”.
Track 3: AI Skills Deficit/AI Skills Development
The rapid rise of AI in society and education has revealed a significant skills gap – not only among students, but also among educators. While several competence frameworks define what AI literacy entails, practical and scalable approaches to developing these skills across disciplines remain limited. This track explores how AI competences can be meaningfully fostered in higher education – for both learners and teachers.
Please find details about the 2025 edition of the Seamless Learning conference and information on how to submit via the website: https://www.wu.ac.at/en/flex/community/seamless-learning-conference-2025
We are looking forward to your proposals until 23 August 2025.
If you don’t want to be a presenter, but you want to attend our conference? You are cordially invited to an event with plenty of room for discussions, encounters and exchange. Please keep an eye on the website mentioned above for the programme and registration information (scheduled for mid-September).
