GenAI, the learner’s digital collaborator: opportunities to enhance heutagogic learning in higher education

Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstractpeer-review

Abstract

This conceptual paper explores how GenAI can extend and enhance heutagogic (self-determined) learning, improve asynchronous online environments, and develop online learners' digital AI literacy. The concept of GenAI as a learner’s digital collaborator (d-collaborator) represents a transformative extension to heutagogy. Grounded in social constructivist theories, heutagogy shifts agency to the student. The f indings aim to challenge and promote opportunities for educators to enhance learning and teaching with GenAI.
