We are pleased to announce that Paola Pavone Salafia, a doctoral researcher from the University of Macerata (UniMC) and the European University of Rome (UER), will be joining us as a guest researcher from 10.03 – 10.06.205.
Paola’s work focuses on the use of advanced technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), in education to foster inclusive and innovative teaching practices. Her research aligns closely with our ongoing studies on learning disabilities, educational accessibility and teacher agency, particularly in the context of AI-supported teaching methodologies. Paola’s research aims to explore how AI can enhance personalized learning for students with special educational needs, as well as investigate the role of AI as a “dual teacher”, which works alongside educators to enrich teaching experiences.
Paola will join the HyTea project led by Daniele Di Mitri and the planned studies with the new AI tutor called Presentable – the new web-based presentation trainer (https://www.presentable.info/) designed in the context of the HyTea project. The overall intention is to research how to tailor AI-generated feedback for specific learning disabilities.
We look forward to collaborating with Paola, exchanging ideas with her and benefiting from the insights she brings to our team. Welcome, Paola!
