Welcome to The 9th ICOLAE 2026
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and emerging educational technologies has profoundly transformed the way learning is designed, delivered, and evaluated. AI-powered personalized learning systems-such as adaptive learning platforms, intelligent tutoring systems, and learning analytics-enable more responsive, data-informed, and learner-centered educational experiences across diverse contexts.
At the same time, the growing role of AI in education calls for a strong emphasis on human-centered and ethical design. Learner-centered AI, guided by design thinking principles, must ensure inclusivity, transparency, fairness, and accountability. Addressing challenges related to data privacy, algorithmic bias, and responsible AI use is essential to prevent the widening of educational gaps.
AI-driven tools also offer significant support for educators. Intelligent teaching assistants, automated assessment and feedback systems, and AI-based decision-support tools have the potential to enhance instructional effectiveness while reducing administrative workload. Furthermore, AI-powered assistive technologies contribute to accessibility and inclusion by supporting learners with special needs and bridging educational disparities.
Beyond AI, emerging technologies such as virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), gamification, and blockchain-based educational systems open new possibilities for immersive learning, engagement, and secure credentialing.
The International Conference on Learning and Advanced Education (ICOLAE) 2026 serves as an international forum for sharing innovative research, case studies, and best practices in AI-driven educational development across K–12, higher education, and lifelong learning. ICOLAE 2026 aims to foster responsible human–AI collaboration and advance ethical, inclusive, and evidence-based educational innovation in the digital era.
