Description

The HRC Working Group, Digital Technology in Education, is hosting a collaborative "UnConference" on AI in education. The event will feature speakers from numerous organizations within VCU, as well as non-VCU entities including Chesterfield County Public Schools, Loudon County Public Schools, and James River Highschool for Brightpoint Community College.

About the Event:

What is an UnConference?
Unlike traditional conferences with scheduled presentations, an UnConference is a participant-driven, discussion-based event where attendees shape the conversation. This event will create space for open dialogue, networking, and collaborative exploration of AI in education through a humanities lens.

This event is open to anyone interested in the human dimensions of AI and education. Whether you're exploring the ethical, social, or practical implications of AI in learning spaces, this is an opportunity to engage with others, share experiences, and contribute to an ongoing conversation.

Agenda

4:30 – 4:45 PM: Arrival & Topic Generation
4:45 – 5:00 PM: Introduction & Organization
5:00 – 6:15 PM: Participant-Led Roundtable Discussions
6:15 – 7:00 PM: Synthesis & Fireside Chat with Authors from the “Collection on AI in Education in Virginia through a Humanities Lens”

Be Part of our Special Collection:

This UnConference serves as a celebration, companion, and extension of the Humanities Research Center (HRC) AI in Education working group’s special "Collection on AI in Education in Virginia through a Humanities Lens."

Ideas generated at the UnConference will be compiled and published in VCU’s Scholars Compass as the final chapter of the collection. Participants can choose to be credited as authors or remain anonymous.
