International organizations such as UNESCO and the OECD are proactively working to develop guidelines that ensure ethical and responsible AI usage in educational contexts. These regulations tackle pressing issues like student data privacy, algorithmic accountability, and equitable access to

In recent years, Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) have dramatically transformed the educational landscape. These AI-driven tools are specifically designed to provide personalized learning experiences, adjusting in real-time to cater to each student’s unique needs. By harnessing advanced technologies such as data analytics and machine learning, ITS can meticulously monitor student performance, allowing educators to identify

During the first project meeting in Bucharest (RO), the Consortium started a fertile brainstorming on the features and functionalities of the HITS platform. Guided by Giordano Sanchioni from Pluriversum, the Consortium has worked to define the MUST-HAVE elements and the risks for a digital platform for students’ support in Higher Education.
