D-SAIL 2025 WORKSHOP: Transformative Curriculum Design - Digitalisation, Sustainability, and AI Literacy for 21st Century Learning!
The workshop will be co-located with AIED 2025, taking place in Palermo, Italy, during July 22–26, 2025.
D-SAIL focuses on transformative curriculum design through the lens of data science, AI, and sustainable innovation in education, governance, and law. This workshop invites educators, researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders to reimagine traditional curricula across the disciplines by integrating AI-driven insights, sustainability principles, and digitalisation. The workshop will explore how generative AI can enhance smart learning environments and how comprehensive data analysis can inform effective curriculum development. Ongoing research is demonstrating the potential of human-centered, AI-enhanced smart learning environments that support hybrid learning scenarios by overcoming conventional limitations. Moreover current effort is being made to lay the groundwork for embedding data analysis and AI methodologies across diverse educational disciplines. When considered in combination with potential risks, these directions can provide valuable insights into creating transformative educational experiences that not only leverage cutting-edge digital tools but also embed sustainability and ethical practices into curriculum design. Multidisciplinary research could reveal limitations of current approaches and propose improvements and alternatives. The workshop will provide a platform to share research findings, discuss innovative pedagogical frameworks, and explore interdisciplinary strategies that prepare students and learners for the demands of the 21st century.
Call for Papers
We invite submissions of papers that examine and expand upon innovative strategies for curriculum transformation at the intersection of AI, sustainability, and digitalisation. We welcome original research, case studies, conceptual frameworks, and best practice reports. Real-world research, such as in-the-wild studies, design-based research, and analysis of public data are of particular interest. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Innovative Pedagogical Frameworks - Approaches that integrate AI-driven insights and data analytics into curriculum design to create adaptive and personalized learning environments.
-
Sustainability and Digitalisation in Education - Strategies for embedding sustainability principles and digital tools into curricula, ensuring that educational practices are both future-proof and environmentally responsible.
-
Human-AI Collaboration - Case studies and research on effective models for human-AI collaboration in the design and delivery of learning experiences, including insights from generative AI applications.
-
Interdisciplinary Curriculum Integration - Approaches for leveraging data analysis and AI across various academic disciplines, and particularly serving as a bridge between disciplines.
-
Ethical and Societal Considerations - Discussions on the ethical challenges and societal implications of integrating advanced digital technologies into educational settings, with a focus on inclusivity and equitable access.
Submission Guidelines
Contributions should present original research and clearly articulate both theoretical and practical dimensions of curriculum transformation, with an emphasis on real-world applications, challenges, and future directions. Authors are encouraged to discuss the implications for teaching, learning, and academic policy in a digitally transformed educational landscape.
Proceedings will be published with CEUR-WS, will be assigned an URN and indexed by SCOPUS, Web of Science, and other major indexes. Follow the one-column CEURART format, templates available at the CEUR-WS website. Submissions should be anonymized, as part of a double-blind review process. All submissions will be evaluated by at least two reviewers and feedback will be provided to each submission. Authors of accepted papers will be allocated slots to present their contributions.
Paper formats
- Full papers (10-12 pages) - original research with detailed analysis and conclusive findings.
- Short papers (6-9 pages) - work in progress, early results feasibility studies or reproducibility studies.
- Project and position papers (5 pages) - new visions or initiatives, building on rigorous previous research.
Submission deadline: May 5, 2025 (end of day, Anywhere-on-Earth timezone)
