SUMMARY:Symposium - Towards a Fairer Future of Education: Algorithmic Inequality and Learning Analytics
DESCRIPTION:Where & When: Scandic Hotel Ørnen in Bergen\, Wednesday June 13th. \nInvitation: SLATE Research Centre and MediaFutures invite you to the symposium “Towards a Fairer Future of Education: Algorithmic Inequality and Learning Analytics”! \nThe emerging applications of Learning Analytics and AI in education that employ student data to improve learning and teaching is gaining worldwide attention. How can data and analytics be used to empower learners\, and what is their impact on education? How can we ensure that AI and Learning Analytics are used to support learning while preserving their responsible usage? What are the challenges associated with striking this balance? What can constitute an equitable and fairer use of AI systems in education and Learning Analytics? \nThese are just some examples of the thought-provoking questions that we will highlight during the symposium!  \nThe event will be held in-person at Scandic Hotel Ørnen in Bergen on Wednesday June 13th. This is a physical symposium\, not a digital webinar\, and lunch\, coffee\, tea and snacks will be served.  \nThe symposium program will be announced as we get closer to the event itself\, but the registration form is already open! \nRegistration deadline is June 8th. \nORGANISING COMMITTEE:\n\n\n\n\n\nMohammad Khalil\n\nMohammad Khalil is a senior researcher at the Centre for the Science of Learning & Technology (SLATE) and the project leader of European Erasmus+ project Remote Intelligent Access to Labs in Higher Education (RIALHE). Khalil has a PhD degree in Engineering Sciences with distinction from Graz University of Technology. He worked as a Postdoc at Delft University of Technology in Technology Enhanced Learning. Khalil is the PI of three Peder Sather projects in joint collaboration with University of California Berkeley on Learning Analytics and Recommendation systems in higher education. He has also been involved in several European projects: Scaling up Educational Innovation in Schools (SEIS)\, Open Educational Resources in Computational Biomedicine (OERCompBiomed)\, and European Network for Virtual lab & Interactive SImulated ONline learning 2027 (ENVISION2027). \nKhalil is currently an associate editor of the International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET) and served as a guest editor at the Journal of Computing in Higher Education\, Journal of Learning Analytics\, and the British Journal of Educational Technology. Khalil has more than 75 publications on ICT & learning. His key research interests include Technology Enhanced Learning\, AI in Education\, Learning Analytics\, and Privacy and Ethics. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMehdi Elahi\n\nMehdi Elahi is an Associate Professor at the University of Bergen (UiB)\, Norway. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science in 2014 and since then published more than 90 peer-reviewed journal and conference publications. His current #citation is 2900+ and his H-index is 25. His research has been mainly focused on AI\, Data Science\, and Cognitive Science\, with an emphasis on their potential industrial applications such as on Recommender Systems. He has also co-invented and co-owned an AI-related US-patent. Mehdi Elahi has been involved in the authorship of several EU grant proposals such as the large-scale grants\, recently funded with a budget of 30 Million Euro\, where he will serve as WP Leader for 8 years. Before that\, he has received prestigious research credits from giant IT industries (i.e.\, Amazon and Google). His research findings have been published in some of the most prestigious reference literature of the field including a recently authored book. He has organized International Data Challenges together with top Companies (i.e.\, Spotify and XING). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBarbara Wasson\n\nBarbara Wasson\, Director of the Centre for The Science of Learning and Technology (SLATE)\, University of Bergen\, Norway is a full Professor in the Department of Information Science & Media Studies.
