I.Workshop Theme:Workshop on Pedagogical Agent and Learning Analytics Research

II.Language: Bilingual in Chinese and English

III.Workshop Summary

The advent of the digital intelligence era has brought profound changes to the field of education, as well as opportunities and challenges. As a representative of emerging technologies, educational agents provide an important path for reshaping the education and teaching process, supporting multimodal learning analysis, innovation ability and literacy evaluation. With the topic of "Pedagogical Agents and Learning Analysis Research", this workshop focuses on the design and application of educational agents, the research on teaching design and evaluation empowered by agents, and the sharing of open source tools and practical cases. By discussing the diverse applications of agent and artificial intelligence technology in education, we aim to promote the innovation of teaching design, learning analysis and evaluation standards for the digital intelligence era, and build a platform for cooperation and exchange between academics and practitioners. The workshop will be conducted in the form of small forums (including case sharing) and paper presentations to promote the exchange of ideas and experience.

The workshop will recommend particularly excellent papers to SSCI journals such as Educational technologies& society after expansion.
