Abstract:
This paper presents the basis of the GENIE Learn project, a coordinated three-year research project funded by the Spanish Research Agency. The main goal of GENIE Learn is to improve Smart Learning Environments (SLEs) for Hybrid Learning (HL) support by integrating Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools in a way that is aligned with the preferences and values of human stakeholders. This article focuses on analyzing the problems of this research context, as well as the affordances that GenAI can bring to solve these problems, but considering also the risks and challenges associated with the use of GenAI in education. The paper also details the objectives, methodology, and work plan, and expected contributions of the project in this context.
