    Digital innovation in teaching, learning and assessment

    How are emerging technologies and AI innovations reshaping the delivery and assessment of education across the Arab world? We will examine strategies for integrating digital tools to enhance engagement, personalise learning and ensure robust, flexible assessment methods that reflect real-world skills.

    Focusing on the holistic student journey, we will investigate how institutions can use digital platforms to support academic success, personal well-being and career readiness. Sessions will consider the role of data, personalised support services and inclusive design in creating a student-centred digital ecosystem.

    Addressing the physical and digital infrastructure needed to enable transformative change in universities, we will look at smart campus design, cybersecurity, data governance and scalable technologies that foster innovation, collaboration and sustainability across the institution.
