The Learning AID conference is the specialized conference on Learning Analytics, Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining in Higher Education in German-speaking countries. Since 2022, Learning AID has established itself as the central networking hub for the topics addressed at the conference. New in this year’s edition: for the first time, we are specifically calling for contributions in English to invite international perspectives on the conference topics.

By including an international perspective into the conference program, we would like to further expand the scope of the conference in 2025. We hope to gain valuable insights into the questions, discussions, examples and solutions that are at the heart of the current international debate on Learning Analytics, Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining in Higher Education.

To get a broader understanding of the conference topics from an international point of view, we are looking for contributions in English from countries other than Germany presenting their research or practical examples as well as for contributions from English-speaking persons within Germany engaging with the conference topics from an international perspective.

Submissions are possible until February 28^th 2025.

Together with you, we want to discuss the following questions, for example:

• What new research findings are there on the effectiveness of learning analytics and AI-supported teaching and learning at international higher education institutions?
• How can data literacy and AI literacy be promoted at international higher education institutions?
• How can learning analytics or AI be put into practice within a course?
• How can learning analytics and AI offer practical support to student advisors?
• How can students participate in and contribute to these developments?
• Which applications and software solutions to support higher education teaching are being developed or used in practice?
• What are the practical consequences of generative AI and learning analytics for examinations?
• Which critical AI developments do international higher education institutions need to find solutions for?

For Learning AID 2025, you have the opportunity to submit both research and practical contributions on the following exemplary topics in the international higher education context (submissions on related topics are also possible):

International contributions will take place in impulse forums, combining presentations and discussions. The 60 or 90-minute impulse forums are each divided into 2 or 3x 30-minute slots. Each presentation has 20 minutes of presentation time to highlight innovative theses and research questions or to present experiences from practical projects on the topics of the conference for discussion. 10 minutes are left for questions, feedback and/or statements from other participants. Each impulse forum will be moderated by a chair.
