Starting from the 16th February 2026, Centre colleagues are leading a new free online course on AI and Education for The Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (GPE KIX) Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Pacific (EMAP) hub (KIX EMAP), based at NORRAG.
The course, or Learning Cycle, is led by Professor Jen Ross and Dr Michael Gallagher and is aimed at mid- and senior-level education professionals from government, academia or civil society, who work directly in AI or EdTech use in planning, policy, research, or education practice, and are based in a KIX EMAP country, with access to a computer and a reliable connection to internet.
This Learning Cycle focuses on the implications of current and emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies on practice, curriculum, policy and governance in education, with an emphasis on the challenges and opportunities brought about by the rapid changes taking place in response to AI. The Learning Cycle will equip course participants to understand the promises and realities of AI in education and position themselves to influence and intervene in AI futures.
The KIX EMAP Hub, with the University of Edinburgh, will issue a digital certificate of completion to participants who meet the minimum attendance requirements and whose team completes and submits a finalised knowledge product.
Professor Sian Bayne, Dr Peter Evans, Dr Janja Komljenovic, Dr Rovincer Najjuma, Professor Judy Robertson, and Dr Ben Williamson will be co-facilitators on the course.
Applications close on the 26th January 2026.
