The 21^st Colloquium of the Research Center in Education at the University of Madeira (CIE-UMa) will be held jointly with the 1^st International Education Congress under the theme “Learning in the Digital Era: Pedagogical Innovation and Artificial Intelligence”. This event aims to provide a space for critical reflection and sharing of experiences on the challenges and opportunities that digital transformation, Pedagogical Innovation, and Artificial Intelligence bring to education.
