Mission:

We aim to revolutionize the education industry by integrating cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence technologies. We strive to enhance learning experiences, empower educators, and inspire the next generation of innovative thinkers.

Vission:

Our vision is to create a future where education is personalized, accessible, and tailored to individual needs through the seamless integration of Artificial Intelligence. We envision a world where every learner can reach their full potential.

Conceptual Framework:

We have identified three levels of AI models (Figure 1) to achieve these goals: L0, L1, and L2. L0 level contains general AI models in which numerous companies have released their products. L1 level is the specified AI model for the education industry, and no organization has announced a mature model yet. The L2 level applies the L1 model in the specific educational context. Currently, there are some applications developed at this level. Without the support of L1, connections from just L0 to L2 cannot impact the whole education system. Our centre's first essential task is collaborating with external partners to develop the L1 model and, simultaneously, developing some contextual applications at the L2 layer. The other essential task is to promote this model to other education institutions to transform their education system and practice.

Figure 1. Conceptual Framework of Research Centre for AI and Education

(The Research Centre for AI and Education was launched on December 22, 2023. The Academy of Future Education within Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) will provide the start-up fund. The website content will be constantly updated as we expand, with new members and ideas coming in.)

English Introduction of the Research Centre for AI and Education

人工智能与教育研究中心简介

Director or co-director: The director or co-director will oversee the centre's overall direction, management, and coordination. They will be responsible for setting clear goals, milestones, and timelines and ensuring the projects remain on track. They will also serve as the primary point of contact for external stakeholders and provide updates and progress reports regularly.

Board of Advisors: They are the most experienced and knowledgeable individuals in the centre. They possess a wealth of information and resources that they can provide to the centre to support its success. As senior-level members, they provide guidance and leadership to the project teams. They serve as a sounding board for ideas and provide valuable feedback to help steer the projects in the right direction. By leveraging their expertise and resources, they help ensure that the centre has the necessary support to achieve its goals.

Project leaders: The project leader plays a critical role in managing and coordinating AI and education projects within the research center. Responsible for allocating resources, setting milestones, collaborating with the director/co-director, and overseeing project progress, the project leader ensures the smooth implementation of projects and their alignment with the centre's overall objectives.

Disciplinary Experts: Disciplinary experts in Education (theory and technology) will contribute their deep knowledge and expertise in their respective fields to inform the development of the L1 model. They will analyse educational theories, frameworks, and best practices and help to integrate them into the AI model. Disciplinary experts in AI techniques will be responsible for bringing their technical expertise to bear on the center's projects. They will help design, develop, and implement AI models and evaluate their effectiveness. They will also provide insights to refine and improve these models.

 AI Educators: AI educators will provide their insights and expertise on applying AI technology in education. They will be responsible for understanding educational institutions' and students' needs and challenges and helping to develop AI models that address these challenges effectively.

Research Assistants: Research Assistants will be integral to the operations of the research centre. They will assist the project leaders and disciplinary experts in carrying out research activities, data collection and analysis. They will also support in the preparation of reports and presentations, as well as in organizing meetings and workshops.

Industrial Experts: Industrial experts from leading AI companies will bring their practical knowledge and experience to the project. They will advise on AI technology trends, market opportunities, and potential applications of the L1 model in real-world settings.

User Representatives: User representatives will provide feedback and input on integrating the L1 model into educational institutions' practices. They will represent the voices and needs of students, educators, and other stakeholders and ensure their input is considered in the development process.

Note: In the member list, the icons for each role will be displayed beside member's name to indicate everyone's role.
