Aspects of intelligent learning systems

e-Learning across various educational contexts

KES2026 Invited Session

Aim and Scope

With the rapid advancement of AI and digital technologies, intelligent and adaptive learning systems are increasingly being integrated into various educational contexts beyond traditional Learning Management Systems (LMS). These next-generation environments leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to personalize learning experiences, support educators, and enhance accessibility across time and distance.

This invited session aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss innovative approaches, analytical frameworks, and applications of intelligent learning systems. We particularly welcome studies on how such systems capture, analyze, and utilize interaction data through cutting-edge analytical methods such as data mining, deep learning, and natural language processing (NLP) to improve learning processes and outcomes. The session also explores human-centered and affective aspects such as learner modeling, automatic feedback generation, ethical issues, and AI bias in education, contributing to the design of intelligent, trustworthy, and inclusive digital learning ecosystems. We invite contributions from researchers, educators, and practitioners working on intelligent, adaptive, and data-driven approaches to digital learning and educational innovation.
