Workshop @ Twenty-first European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (ECTEL)

International Perspectives on Integrating GenAI Into Co-Design

Tuesday | 15 September 2026 | 14:00 – 17:30

Room 1.5 | Centro Asociado UNED Valencia | Valencia, Spain

Workshop Description

In this workshop, we will gather individuals from various disciplinary backgrounds, experience levels, and countries to discuss how genAI is a part of co-designing educational technologies. Workshop participants will share knowledge about existing co-design efforts with genAI, reflect on the ideal role of genAI in co-design efforts and solutions, and establish guidelines for engaging in this collaborative work.

Motivation

To intentionally integrate generative artificial intelligence (genAI) into learning technologies, processes for strategizing responsible genAI use are needed. Co-design – structured, long-term collaborations between researchers, teachers, and engineers – can help meet this need. Integrating genAI into co-design efforts, however, is not a simple process. GenAI has the potential to reshape co-design in several ways, including who participates, how the process unfolds, and the types of solutions that become possible, each of which needs to be further explored.
