Aims and scope

We’re pleased to announce the launch of our new Gold Open Access journal, Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIIE), coming soon in 2024.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionised education by enhancing personalised learning experiences, automating administrative tasks, and providing data-driven insights. 

In and out of classrooms, AI-powered tools adapt content to individual student needs, offering adaptive tutoring and other innovations in educational technology integration. Examples include, but are not limited to, differentiated teaching and learning, tailored exercises, and intelligent feedback. Moreover, AI assists educators in managing administrative workloads, optimising schedules, and identifying at-risk students. AI has the potential to support equity and to humanize classroom learning in ways that are critical and culturally relevant. As we continue to explore the intersection of AI and education and leverage the benefits, ethical considerations, transparency, and equity remain critical areas of focus.

We welcome research in AI in Education from a wide range of quantitative and qualitative research modalities, across a wide range of learning environments from all educational levels and educational spaces, including within industry, covering:

Areas of improvement

  • Curriculum design
  • Assessment design
  • Humanizing approaches to pedagogy
  • Tool-specific educational technology integrations
  • Culturally relevant and sustaining applications
  • Critical perspectives of AI, education, and equity
  • Inclusive student support services
  • Innovative pedagogical approaches
  • Education leadership, e.g., school/institutional level policy marking
  • Business processes streamlining
  • DEI/EDI (including decolonisation)
  • Particular student groups (international, mature, part-time, etc.)

Areas addressing particular challenges (teaching, learning or student support related)

  • Transition (languages, culture)
  • Psychological/emotional/social
  • Special study needs
  • New/updated framework/theory
  • New methodology
  • How to better address student learning needs at different educational stages.

The article processing charge (APC) will be waived for content submitted to this journal before 1st September 2025.

We will be accepting submissions to the journal very soon. In the meantime, if you would like to get in touch to express your interest in publishing your research, or guest editing a special issue in Artificial Intelligence in Education, then please get in touch.
