During the past three decades, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing has been amongst the major gathering forums for applied computer engineers, scientists, and application developers worldwide. SAC 2024 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP). The aim of this track is to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss advances, challenges, and future directions of artificial intelligence for education. 

 Track Description

Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown great potential in tackling numerous challenges in the field of education. However, the application of AI in education also raises many challenges. Some of the key challenges include concerns regarding algorithmic biases and discrimination, ignoring the role of practitioners in the development of AI-based educational applications, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI-powered educational technologies. 

Given the growing importance of AI in society and supporting education and the existing challenges in their applications in education, this technical track focuses on AI for education.

 Submissions

The AI for education track accepts regular (full) papers and posters. Selected papers, not accepted as full papers, will be accepted as poster papers. These will be presented at a poster session during the Symposium and will be published as three-page extended abstracts in the Proceedings. Additionally, graduate students are invited to submit research abstracts to the Student Research Competition. Accepted papers in all categories will be published in the ACM SAC 2024 proceedings and published in the ACM digital library, indexed by Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge and Scopus.

Some selected papers will be invited for publication in our ongoing special issue of SCI/SSCI journals.
