The Next Gen Learning: Multimodality, AI & Multilingualism Conference
foregrounds multimodality as a central lens for understanding and
shaping the future of education in a world where acquiring knowledge
is dynamic and deeply interconnected. As learning increasingly unfolds
across digital, physical, linguistic and cultural spaces,
meaning-making extends beyond language to include images, sound,
gesture, movement, and material interaction, allowing knowledge to be
created and experienced in richer, more interactive ways. At the same
time, AI-driven technologies are transforming the ways that multimodal
resources are produced, accessed and scaled, introducing new forms of
responsiveness, creativity and personalization while intensifying
questions of equity, access and the value of human engagement. Drawing
on different understandings of multimodality, the conference
critically examines how multimodal and multilingual practices can
counter industrial-era models of schooling and redefine assessment,
teaching and literacies in collaborative and AI-augmented
environments.
Bringing together academics, researchers, educators and practitioners,
the conference explores how multimodality, artificial intelligence and
multilingual practices are transforming teaching, learning and
knowledge creation across contexts.
Conference Themes:
We invite research-based submissions that explore, but are not limited
to, the following themes:
 - Redefining Learning and Knowledge-Making: Multimodal meaning-making
in diverse formal, informal and non-formal (e.g. museums, science
centres) learning environments and sites
 - Multimodality and Learning Across Domains: Exploring how multimodal
meaning-making intersects with sociocognitive perspectives, affective
and individual difference models and other approaches to learning.
 - AI-Enhanced Multimodal Learning: Designing, evaluating, and
critically reflecting on AI-supported multimodal learning environments
and resources.
 - Multilingualism, Mediating and Translanguaging in Multimodal
Contexts: Investigating the interplay of multiple languages, semiotic
resources and cultural practices in education.
 - Future Literacies and Transformative Pedagogies: From digital,
visual and data literacies to multiliteracies and new designs for
criticality, embodiment and creativity
 - Equity, Access, Ethics and Social Justice in Multimodal and AI
Learning: Addressing structural inequalities in access,
representation, participation and design across scalable learning
systems.
 - Assessment and Collaboration in Multimodal Learning: Developing
methods to evaluate collective, interactive and multimodal work while
recognizing individual contributions.
 - Next-Gen Educators and Learners: Preparing teachers and learners as
designers of learning
Presentation Types:
We invite proposals that reflect rigorous scholarship and innovative
thinking, including:
 - Paper Presentations
 - Panel Proposals
 - Next-Gen Research Workshops for young scholars
 - Onsite Posters
 - Digital Posters
