Generative AI for Personalised and Inclusive Learning

This hands-on How To explores the new opportunities generative AI creates for personalised and inclusive learning. Participants will discover how AI can expand the ways learners access content, practise, create and take greater agency over their own learning. Using learner personas, we will explore and experiment with AI tools and functionalities that can support different learners and learning situations. Participants will work with prompting and personalised chatbots and experience how vibe-coding makes it possible to rapidly prototype tailored learning tools without traditional programming skills. Throughout the session, we will maintain an explorer mindset: testing what becomes possible while critically considering the human role, AI literacy, privacy, bias, accessibility and over-reliance. Participants will leave with concrete ideas, practical examples and starting points they can adapt to their own educational practice.
