- Ambientes de aprendizagem imersivosPublication . Morgado, LeonelOs ambientes de aprendizagem imersivos são espaços onde se coocorrem dois fenómenos complexos: a aprendizagem e a imersão, levantando dificuldades de interpretação e, consequentemente, da liberdade de decisão dos participantes para sua orquestração pedagógica ou de aprendizagem. Neste trabalho apresenta-se uma conceptualização teórica que combina estes fenómenos, com o objetivo de contribuir para a resolução deste problema. Demonstra-se através de cinco casos como esta conceptualização permite novas formas de interpretar e analisar a aprendizagem, para dessa forma concretizar o potencial de impacte sobre a orquestração pedagógica e a regulação da aprendizagem.
- Can we escape the metaverse?: Should we?Publication . Carvalho, Fausto de; Morgado, LeonelIn view of the strong market presence and leverage of major corporations involved in this topic, the most straightforward answer to the questions above is “No”. Nevertheless, multiple perspectives should be considered. Thus, along this article we reflect about the concept of “metaverse”, what parts of it exist today, and what is foreseen that makes this concept a much discussed game changer.
- eXtended new realityPublication . Carvalho, Fausto de; Morgado, Leonel; Machado, RicardoThis article addresses some aspects of the potential of Extended Reality (XR) technologies in the context of the accelerated ongoing digital transformation, with public awareness and wider acceptance being prompted by current pandemic, due to the widespread adoption of teleworking, distance learning, and virtual conferences. The state-of-the-art of XR technologies and immersive environments is briefly addressed from the perspective of their sustained adoption in multiple scenarios, including education and training, well-being and active aging, and business.
- Immersion for AI: immersive learning with artificial intelligencePublication . Morgado, LeonelThis work reflects upon what Immersion can mean from the perspective of an Artificial Intelligence (AI). Applying the lens of immersive learning theory, it seeks to understand whether this new perspective supports ways for AI participation in cognitive ecologies. By treating AI as a participant rather than a tool, it explores what other participants (humans and other AIs) need to consider in environments where AI can meaningfully engage and contribute to the cognitive ecology, and what the implications are for designing such learning environments. Drawing from the three conceptual dimensions of immersion—System, Narrative, and Agency—this work reinterprets AIs in immersive learning contexts. It outlines practical implications for designing learning environments where AIs are surrounded by external digital services, can interpret a narrative of origins, changes, and structural developments in data, and dynamically respond, making operational and tac-tical decisions that shape human-AI collaboration. Finally, this work suggests how these insights might influence the future of AI training, proposing that immersive learning theory can inform the development of AIs capable of evolving beyond static models. This paper paves the way for understanding AI as an immersive learner and participant in evolving human-AI cognitive ecosystems.
- The impact of artificial intelligence on a learning management system in a higher education context: a position paperPublication . Santos, Arnaldo; Manhiça, Ruben; Cravino, JoséThis position paper provides an overview of the most important practices in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) used in educational contexts, with a focus on the main platforms used for teaching (LMS) to support the development of a research work at EduardoMondlane University (UEM) in Mozambique. To that end, definitions and descriptions of relevant terms, a brief historical overview of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education and an overview of the common goals and practices of using computational methods in educational contexts are provided. The state of the art regarding the adaptation and use of Artificial Intelligence is presented and we discuss the potential benefits and the open challenges. The paper also presents the methodology and key steps which will be developed at UEM to achieve the research goals.
