Exploring the Future of Learning: Kogakuin University Hosts AI for Education Workshop in Yokohama
YOKOHAMA, Japan on 24 September 2025, Kogakuin University convened a full‑day workshop titled “AI for Education”, held at its Yokohama campus. The event brought together educators, researchers and EdTech practitioners to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance teaching and learning in schools and higher‑education settings. Adhitya Amarulloh, one of the lecturer of Educational Technology Department was participated and become a the State University of Surabaya representative.
The workshop comprised three main sessions:
A keynote address offering a big‑picture view of AI’s role in educational transformation.
Break‑out hands‑on workshops where participants experimented with AI‑driven tools for curriculum design, student assessment and adaptive learning.
A panel discussion focused on practical challenges such as ethics, data privacy, teacher readiness and equity of access associated with introducing AI into classrooms.
Throughout the day, participants emphasised how AI‑powered platforms can personalise learning paths, support formative assessment and enable rich data‑driven insights for educators. At the same time, presenters reminded attendees of their pedagogical responsibility, noting that technology must serve meaningful learning not replace it.
A highlight of the event was a live demonstration of an intelligent‑tutoring module that adapts to student responses in real time, followed by small‑group breakout sessions where educators drafted sample lesson plans integrating AI tools into their contexts.
In the closing remarks, Kogakuin University’s organising team stressed that the workshop is part of a broader institutional commitment to preparing teachers and school leaders for the future of digital learning. They announced follow‑on support including an online community of practice, resource‑sharing hub and follow‑up training modules for participants.
The workshop received favourable feedback from attendees who noted that the blend of theoretical framing and hands‑on exploration provided concrete take‑aways they could apply in their classrooms and institutions.
As AI‑driven learning environments evolve rapidly, events such as this one by Kogakuin University position educators and institutions to navigate both the promise and the pitfalls of technology‑enhanced learning.
