We are calling for papers addressing (but not limited to) one or several of the following questions:

  • What are the challenges facing educational researchers employing machine learning as a research tool? 
  • What strategies can be implemented in real pedagogical contexts combining machine learning applications in educationally innovative contexts? 
  • How are these methodologies, tools and technologies being blended into existing practices? 
  • What are the new data points from emerging technologies in machine learning settings? 
  • How are the results of machine learning approaches supporting different educational domains? 
  • What are the ethical considerations when employing machine learning to support educational innovations? 
  • What is the future of machine learning to support educational innovations? 
  • What role can AI and ML play in facilitating home-based learning in a pandemic situation? 
  • How can ML enable evaluating learning efficiency of students using streaming video inputs? 
  • How can ML facilitate academic evaluation for students to gauge teaching-learning effectiveness?
