AI integration for student learning in Namibia and Germany

AI integration into higher education transforms teaching, learning, and assessment to enhance student support, engagement, and academic success. Through this discussion, we /imagine best practices for leveraging AI tools while responding to ethical challenges around data privacy, transparency, bias, plagiarism, and inclusivity. By aligning AI with institutional goals and promoting inclusivity, the discussion facilitates the identification of actionable recommendations for responsible AI adoption and considers a Global South and North perspective.
