Special Session 3: Agentic AI, Customized GPTs, and Intelligent Educational Assistants for Teaching and Learning

Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to transform educational practices through the development of intelligent technologies that support teaching, learning, assessment, and educational administration. Recent advancements in Generative AI, Agentic AI systems, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Customized GPTs have expanded the capabilities of educational technologies from simple automation tools to intelligent assistants capable of personalized guidance, adaptive support, content generation, and educational decision-making. Agentic AI represents the next stage in AI-enabled education by enabling systems to autonomously perform complex tasks, collaborate with users, and support educational workflows through goal-oriented actions. At the same time, Customized GPTs and intelligent educational assistants are being increasingly adopted by educators and institutions to provide course-specific learning support, personalized tutoring, academic advising, automated feedback, instructional design assistance, and professional learning opportunities. Despite their growing adoption, significant questions remain regarding educational effectiveness, learner engagement, human-AI collaboration, ethical implementation, transparency, academic integrity, governance, and institutional readiness. Researchers and practitioners are now challenged to develop, evaluate, and deploy AI-powered educational systems that are pedagogically effective, trustworthy, equitable, and aligned with educational goals.

This Special Session aims to provide an international platform for researchers, educators, instructional designers, developers, policymakers, and practitioners to share innovative research, practical applications, conceptual frameworks, and empirical studies related to Agentic AI, Customized GPTs, and Intelligent Educational Assistants in educational environments. The session seeks high-quality contributions that advance the understanding of AI-powered educational ecosystems while promoting responsible innovation and human-centered approaches to teaching and learning. The ultimate goal is to explore how intelligent educational technologies can enhance learner success, teacher effectiveness, institutional innovation, and the future of education.
