OVERVIEW
The seminar addressed the growing impact of artificial intelligence on higher education, focusing on how AI is reshaping teaching, learning, leadership, quality assurance, and internationalisation. Through expert presentations, roundtables, and open discussions, the event examined both the opportunities and challenges posed by AI, including ethical concerns, academic integrity, and the need for institutional readiness.
A strong emphasis was placed on supporting inclusive, scalable, and sustainable education, aligned with SDG 4 (Education for All). The seminar functioned as a foundational platform for dialogue and awareness-raising, while highlighting the need to move from conceptual discussion toward practical implementation and capacity building.
THE FOLLOW UP ACTIVITY
Titles of the activities:
Survey: The Role and Influence of AI in Education Processes
Workshop: Using AI Tools in the Teaching Process
Dates: Survey: 27 October – 10 November 2025
Workshop: 10 December 2025
Audience: The survey engaged 145 participants, including academic staff, administrative staff, and students of the University of Zenica, while the workshop involved approximately 70–80 participants from the same institution, mainly students and university staff, with students representing around 60% of attendees.
Description: The follow-up activity consisted of two complementary actions implemented at the University of Zenica. The first was an online survey targeting academic and non-academic staff as well as students, aiming to assess their familiarity with artificial intelligence tools, current practices, and perceived needs related to the use of AI in higher education. The survey also gathered ideas on topics to be addressed in further capacity-building activities.
The second activity was a presential workshop focused on practical examples of using AI tools in the teaching process. The workshop aimed to raise awareness and build capacity among students and staff regarding the responsible and effective use of AI in education. Through practical demonstrations and discussion, participants explored concrete applications of AI tools and reflected on the need for institutional guidelines, training activities, and potential revisions of curricula to integrate AI responsibly into teaching and learning processes.
ENHANCING IMPACT: PROPOSED NEXT STEPS
- Introduce AI literacy training for academic and administrative staff, focusing on ethics, risks, and benefits.
- Develop institutional and national AI policies addressing academic integrity, data protection, and intellectual property.
- Support applied research and curriculum reform integrating AI tools and methodologies.
- Promote quality assurance frameworks adapted to AI-enhanced teaching and learning.
- Establish shared resource hubs to disseminate practical examples, case studies, and guidance.
- Strengthen leadership capacity to manage uncertainty and technological change.
