The Jacobs Foundation has awarded a grant of €2 million to support the creation of a global research center – Center for Learning and Living with AI (CELLA) to equip young learners to learn, live, and work in the age of AI. The international Center will bring together global leaders in learning and educational sciences, learning analytics and artificial intelligence with the aim to support the development of AI driven learning technologies that ensure children's wellbeing: University of Oulu (Main PI Sanna Järvelä) and Radboud University (Main PI Inge Molenaar) will work with Technical University of Munich (PI Maria Bannert), Monash University (PI Dragan Gasevic) and University of Central Florida (PI Roger Azevedo).

The use of AI driven learning technologies is becoming common practice to the daily life of children at school around the globe and influences their learning. Due to the lack of large-scale research as well as the variety in available technologies, its influence is not always clear. The combination of technical and pedagogical innovation in schools is needed to ensure a positive impact on children. CELLA researchers will engage in co-creation with secondary schools around the globe to support the development of intelligent learning technologies, such as online adaptive systems and game-based learning with virtual reality and augmented reality.
