UNESCO’s Digital Learning Week 2023, held from 4 to 7 September in Paris, France, brought together over 1000 participants from more than 50 countries, including Arab states, to discuss the future of digital learning. The event, which was the first since the COVID-19 pandemic, focused on the safe use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), the implications of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) for education, and the need to ensure inclusion in digital learning.
One of the main achievements of the event was the launch of important guidance produced by UNESCO in education, including AI and Education: Guidance for Policy-makers, Guidelines for ICT in Education Policies and Masterplans, Education and Blockchain, and K-12 AI curricula: a mapping of government-endorsed AI curricula. During the week, UNESCO shared progress made in implementing the Gateways to Public Digital Learning Initiative launched at the Transforming Education Summit (TES) in September 2022.
Throughout the event, participants stressed the importance of ensuring that digital learning is inclusive and accessible to all learners, regardless of their background or circumstances. They also called for governments to regulate generative AI in schools and to ensure that it is used in a way that benefits learners and society as a whole. Experts also discussed the major changes in the future of education caused by the fast-paced development in innovation and advanced technology, and how this will act as an enhancing factor for the efforts to accelerate progress in achieving the fourth SDG related to education.
A significant highlight of this event featured the Award ceremony of the UNESCO King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa Prize for the Use of ICT in Education with its latest edition focused on the use of public digital learning platforms, recognizing outstanding contributions in the field.
Digital Learning Week builds on the foundation of UNESCO's Mobile Learning Week over the past decade. The next edition will be held in March 2024. UNESCO will continue to use this annual event as a platform to promote the safe and ethical use of digital technologies in education, and to ensure that digital learning is inclusive and accessible to all.
