AI-Enhanced Ecological Learning Spaces

This paper investigates the transformative role of Artificial IntelligenceArtificial intelligence (AI) (AI) in creating and enhancing ecological learning spacesEcological learning spaces. It explores how AI technologies are reshaping educational environments to become more adaptive, interconnected, and personalised. The study begins by tracing the evolution of Generative AIGenerative AI (GenAI) and its application in educationEducation, followed by an examination of the concept of ecological learning spaces. The chapter then examines some specific ways AI is impacting these spaces, focusing on three key aspects: dynamic adaptability, interconnectedness, and learner-centred design. It discusses how AI facilitates personalised learningPersonalised learning experiencesExperiences, enables collaborative networks, and supports holistic development and educational accessibility. The paper concludes by outlining the potential of AI in transforming educational experiences and suggesting future directions for research in this field.
