Professor Siân Bayne

A new free online course on AI and Education led by Centre colleagues will start on the 16th February 2026.

We are happy to announce the release of the recording of the seminar "Who profits from academic content and why it matters" (Dr Janja Komljenovic).

Centre Professor Sian Bayne speaks to the BBC about her concerns and line of research in a piece on students' use of AI in universities.

Sian Bayne and Jen Ross recently ran a workshop on Higher Education Futures with a group of 30 leaders from 10 European universities, as part of the Lighthouse Strategic Educational Leadership Programme. One heartening meta-theme emerged from the discussions: the importance of taking care of the communal life of the university .

Professor Carol Campbell, Head of Moray House School of Education and Sport, alongside Centre director Professor Sian Bayne and co-directors Professor Judy Robertson and Dr Ben Williamson created a video for the fifth Global Education Deans' Forum in China, which explored the topic of education in the age of AI.

The Centre for Research in Digital Education are thrilled to announce the creation of a fifth research strand: Digital Education in the Global South, directed by Dr Michael Gallagher.
