The Bahrain Polytechnic Teaching and Learning conference aims to explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. As technology continues to reshape pedagogical practices and learning environments, the integration of AI and education technology (EdTech) presents both unprecedented opportunities and complex challenges. The rapid evolution of AI technologies—from large language models to adaptive learning platforms—demands a focused discussion on their application, efficacy, and ethical implications within teaching and learning. This conference aims to explore the integration of AI, AI tools and EdTech into the classroom. This conference aims to serve as a critical platform for educators, researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to converge, share knowledge, and collectively shape the future of a more intelligent and equitable educational landscape. The conference will culminate in actionable insights and recommendations to guide future development and policy.

The Key Objectives for the T&L2026 conference are:

  • To facilitate knowledge exchange and showcase innovation by providing a platform for sharing research findings, case studies, and practical experiences in EdTech, including the latest advancements in AI-powered tools, platforms, and methodologies that are revolutionizing education.
  • To bridge the academia and industry gap by encouraging partnerships that translate theoretical research into practical, scalable solutions.
  • To provide a platform for policymakers to engage with experts and gather insights to inform the development of robust educational technology policies.
  • To spark critical dialogue on the ethical challenges posed by AI in education, including data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the evolving role of educators.

The is an international level hybrid mode (online + face to face) conference on the advancements in teaching and learning to provide the opportunity to the researchers to share their research findings and innovations in AI-automated education and EdTech. The conference will provide a dynamic forum for presenting cutting-edge research, showcasing practical applications, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
