Senior Lecturer Dr. Jason Zagami
Griffith University, Australia
Bio: Dr Jason Zagami is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Education and Professional Studies at Griffith University, Australia. His teaching and research focus on artificial intelligence in education, digital technologies curriculum, virtual and extended-reality learning environments, educational gaming, and teacher education. His work examines how emerging technologies can be used thoughtfully to strengthen learning, creativity, inclusion, and teacher capability while addressing the ethical and practical challenges they introduce. Dr Zagami leads the research focus of the Australian Technologies Teacher Educators Network (ATTEN), the Griffith Research on Artificial Intelligence in Education (GRAIL), and the Education, Change and Sociotechnical Futures Research (ECSFR) groups. Bringing together research, policy, and educational practice, he works to develop rigorous, responsible, and human-centred approaches to digital transformations in education and society.

Title:International Trends in Digital, Data,
and AI Literacy through Initial Teacher
Education
Abstract:Initial
Teacher Education (ITE) provides a valuable
lens through which to examine global trends
in digital, data, and artificial
intelligence literacy. Unlike many areas of
educational practice, ITE is generally
supported by an examinable documentary
architecture comprising teacher standards,
accreditation requirements, programme
specifications, course documentation, and
practicum assessment materials. These
sources do not fully represent enacted
practice, but they make it possible to
compare what education systems formally
expect future teachers to learn,
demonstrate, and apply.
Drawing on a large cross-national
documentary analysis using the Global ITE
Digital, Computing, and AI Preparation Scale
(G-IDCAPS), this presentation examines how
digital, data, and AI-related capabilities
are being incorporated into professional
preparation. The evidence suggests that
foundational digital literacy and the
pedagogical use of digital technologies are
increasingly visible across jurisdictions.
Preparation in computational thinking,
digital assessment, data interpretation, and
AI literacy remains less consistent and is
rarely connected to assessed performance
during professional experience. Ethical
principles, safety, and governance are
becoming more prominent, but often remain
general expectations rather than
demonstrated professional capabilities.
ITE therefore offers more than a view of
teacher preparation: it provides an
institutional vantage point from which to
identify wider international trajectories in
educational capability, regulation, and
professional practice.
Dr. Kazem Banihashem
Maastricht University, Netherlands
Bio: Dr. Kazem Banihashem is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Educational Development and Research, School of Health Professions, Maastricht University, the Netherlands. He is an internationally recognized scholar and active contributor to the field of AI in Education, with a research program centred on the intersection of AI and feedback, human–AI collaboration, hybrid intelligent feedback, and the responsible use of AI in feedback practices. His broader research portfolio spans learning analytics, assessment, self-regulated learning, learning theory, and learning design. Dr. Banihashem serves as an Associate Editor of the Australasian Journal of Educational Technology (AJET) and has served as Guest Editor for several international journals, including the International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education and the Journal of Computer Assisted Learning. He has delivered invited keynote and panel presentations on human–AI collaboration and the future of feedback practices. His work has also attracted competitive research funding from national funding bodies, including the Dutch National Organization for Education Research (NRO), for projects advancing responsible and meaningful uses of AI in education.
Talk Title:Human-AI
Collaboration for Meaningful Feedback
Practices
Abstract:Generative
AI has increasingly been recognized as a
powerful source of feedback in education.
However, much of the existing literature has
focused on whether AI-generated feedback is
comparable or superior to human-generated
feedback. This emphasis risks reducing
feedback to the mere provision of
information, overlooking the processes
through which students engage with,
interpret, and act upon feedback. In this
presentation, I will critically examine
emerging approaches to human–AI
collaboration in feedback practices,
highlighting their potential and
limitations. Building on this discussion, I
will introduce a human–AI collaborative
feedback process model that moves beyond
feedback provision to consider how humans
and AI can collaborate throughout the
feedback process. Finally, I will discuss
the roles of AI literacy and feedback
literacy in shaping effective, meaningful,
and responsible human–AI feedback
collaboration.
Prof. Mingming Zhou
University of Macau, Macau, China
Bio: Dr. Mingming Zhou is now Professor in Faculty of Education at University of Macau. She currently serves as Associate Dean (Research and Graduate Studies) in the faculty. Her research combines educational psychology and educational technology to investigate how university students self-regulate their learning both in online and offline settings. Her current research examines how students interact with AI to support their self-regulation.
Talk Title:From
Self-Regulation to Hybrid Regulation:
Conceptualizing and Operationalizing
Human-AI Shared Control in Learning
Abstract:Self-regulated
learning (SRL) has long positioned the
learner as the sole agent responsible for
planning, monitoring, and reflecting on
their learning. The integration of
artificial intelligence into educational
environments, however, is fundamentally
destabilizing this assumption. Adaptive
systems increasingly perform regulatory
functions by diagnosing knowledge gaps,
generating feedback, and recommending
strategies, which were once the exclusive
domain of human learners. This raises a
critical question: what happens to SRL when
regulation becomes a shared endeavor between
human and artificial agents?
In this talk, I will introduce an integrated
framework for AI-mediated self-regulated
learning as a conceptual and operational
framework, by integrating models of Molenaar
(2022), Hadwin and Oshige (2011) and
Zimmerman (2002) to (a) distinguish
different modes of learner-AI interaction in
regulation, (b) map these onto specific SRL
phases, and (c) account for varying degrees
of learner agency. Regulation in this model
is not treated as a fixed human capacity,
but as a dynamic system of shared control
that can fluidly shift between learners and
AI across the SRL cycle. The framework
specifies four distinct regulatory modes:
AI-dominated regulation, learner-AI
co-regulation, learner-AI shared regulation,
and AI-assisted regulation. It articulates
the conditions under which control is
productively transferred between AI and the
learner. It also identifies the critical
challenge of metacognitive offloading,
wherein the role of AI in the development of
self-regulatory skills becomes more
complicated than expected.
Operationalizing different modes of
learner-AI interaction in regulation
requires moving beyond self-report measures
to trace-based instrumentation capable of
detecting real-time SRL processes and
triggering adaptive scaffolding. I will use
the FLoRA Engine as an example to
demonstrate how learning analytics and GenAI
can be integrated to detect when learners
disengage from regulation and to intervene
with personalized, theory-grounded support.
I will conclude by outlining the empirical,
pedagogical, and ethical questions that
remain unresolved, most notably, how to
design hybrid systems that know when to
assist, when to step back, and how to ensure
that the regulatory handover genuinely
serves learner development rather than
algorithmic convenience.
