GenAI-LA: Generative AI and Learning Analytics Workshop (LAK 2026), April 27--May 1, 2026, Bergen, Norway

The GenAI‑LA workshop, a segment of the Learning Analytics & Knowledge (LAK) 2026 conference, will gather scholars and practitioners on **April 27–May 1, 2026, in Bergen, Norway** to discuss the intersection of generative AI and learning analytics. The event focuses on emerging tools and datasets that enable automated pedagogical evaluation and AI‑tutoring. A key highlight is the newly announced **EduEVAL‑DB** dataset (arXiv:2602.15531v1), which comprises 854 teacher‑written explanations for 139 science, language, and social‑science questions drawn from the ScienceQA benchmark, covering K‑12 grade levels. By providing a human‑teacher reference for each query, the dataset supports the development and validation of automatic evaluators that can assess instructional explanations and inform AI tutor design. Workshop participants will explore how generative models can generate high‑quality explanations, assess their pedagogical value, and personalize learning support. Additionally, sessions will cover privacy, ethics, and data‑sharing practices crucial for responsibly deploying AI in education. The workshop’s goal is to catalyze collaboration between AI researchers, educators, and analytics experts to accelerate the creation of trustworthy, scalable AI tutoring systems that align with curricular goals.
