The journal Education + Training invites submissions for a Special Issue examining how Generative Artificial Intelligence can be strategically integrated into higher education to achieve measurable learning, teaching, assessment, and employability outcomes.
About the Special Issue

It welcomes empirical, conceptual, and practice-oriented studies examining how Generative AI can enhance educational effectiveness while maintaining academic quality and integrity.
Particular emphasis is placed on research demonstrating measurable outcomes and practical implications for educators, institutions, policymakers, and industry stakeholders.
