The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly transforming higher education and reshaping the learning ecosystem. AI-powered personalized learning adapts instructional pathways and content to match each learner’s progress, knowledge mastery, and cognitive profile—transforming education from a “one-size-fits-all” model to one that is individualized and adaptive, making the long-standing ideal of teaching in accordance with individual aptitude increasingly attainable. Intelligent AI companions are available to provide timely support and answer learners’ questions anytime, anywhere. Real-time AI translation technologies are bridging language gaps, making educational resources more globally accessible and enabling more seamless cross-cultural collaborative learning. Affective computing is providing unprecedented learning support for marginalized communities... Building on this momentum, the Digital Intelligence International Development Education Alliance (DI-IDEA), in collaboration with Feishu, is launching the “AI for Learning” track. Participants are invited to explore diverse learning scenarios, integrate AI in meaningful ways, and design practical tools that shape the future of education. The competition is open to currently enrolled students from universities worldwide.

Participants may choose any of the following themes and transform their creative ideas into practical AI solutions tailored to a specific learning scenario. Deliverables may include, but are not limited to, Feishu multi-dimensional spreadsheets, mobile apps, web pages, intelligent agents, or demos. Participants are encouraged to use Feishu as an efficient tool for collaboration and communication.

Exploring future learning models and drive AI-enabled educational transformation:

How can the advancement of AI reshape higher education? What changes might occur in the way we interact during learning? How can collaboration in learning evolve in the future? Participants are encouraged to fully unleash their imagination to envision new forms of university learning improved by tools like Feishu. They are invited to develop implementable solutions and thoughtfully consider the appropriate use, boundaries, and ethical norms of AI technologies in these future learning scenarios.

Promoting equitable education and lifelong learning through AI:

The advancement of digital and intelligent technologies has opened up new possibilities for developing high-quality educational resources and narrowing regional and urban-rural disparities. Participants are encouraged to explore how AI can be leveraged to deliver inclusive, equitable, and high-quality education, ensuring lifelong learning opportunities for all. Participants should also provide practical implementation plans.

Developing easy-to-use AI-powered learning tools:

Participants are encouraged to leverage Feishu and other platforms to develop AI tools—such as personal knowledge managers, document reading assistants, intelligent learning companions, subject-specific AI tutors, and problem-solving agents—aimed at enhancing learning efficiency and outcomes.
