The effect of artificial intelligence integration on student engagement in online learning.
Abstract
This concept paper explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into educational practices with a focus on enhancing student engagement. In recent years, digital transformation in education has accelerated, especially in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. AI has emerged as a key technological enabler, offering tools that personalize learning, provide immediate feedback, automate administrative tasks, and foster interaction. Despite its promise, the effective integration of AI into education requires strategic planning, ethical consideration, and empirical research. This paper aims to examine the potential of AI in improving behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement among students in higher education. Through a comprehensive review of recent literature and a proposed mixed-method research design, the study seeks to highlight opportunities, challenges, and strategies for leveraging AI to support more engaging and effective learning environments
