The 2026 AI-ALOE Virtual Research Showcase, held on Oct. 15, brought together researchers, educators, and others interested in the future of artificial intelligence in adult learning and online education.
Offering a behind-the-scenes look at AI-augmented learning, the showcase featured live demonstrations of AI-ALOE technologies, insights from institute leadership, and a live Q&A with members of the AI-ALOE team. Through these presentations and discussions, attendees explored the institute’s research and how its technologies are being developed to support teaching, personalize learning experiences, and expand educational opportunities for adult learners.
AI-ALOE’s work is grounded in responsible AI research, human cognition, and learning science, with a focus on developing evidence-based approaches to improving online education for adult learners. Sharing this work with the broader community helps build understanding of how these approaches can advance teaching and learning and inform the future of adult education.
The institute thanks everyone who joined the showcase, contributed questions and ideas, and took part in the discussions. AI-ALOE also recognizes its researchers, presenters, and leadership team for sharing their work.
