Research

Aziz Mimoudi studies how artificial intelligence can be brought into classrooms and teacher education responsibly, with evidence and with attention to equity.

Research interests

Themes

  1. How teachers can integrate AI into planning, teaching and assessment without losing sight of pedagogy and ethics. This line of work produced AIA-PCEK, a framework for teaching with AI, first published in Cogent Education and extended in Quality & Quantity.

    See: Mimoudi & Bouabid, 2026; Mimoudi & Kouider, 2025; Mimoudi et al., 2026

  2. Whether generative AI can personalise learning and assessment in ways that reduce, rather than widen, inequalities between learners and regions.

    See: Mimoudi, 2025; Mimoudi, 2026; Mimoudi, 2024

  3. The design of AI-based tutoring for distance education, and the interdisciplinary collaboration that designing such systems requires — the subject of his doctoral thesis.

    See: Mimoudi, 2026; Mimoudi & Meyer, 2022; Gérin-Lajoie et al., 2022

  4. Computational thinking and AI in teacher education (Erasmus+ VOLCANIC), distance learning for rural primary schools in Morocco, and inclusive design for learners with diverse abilities.

    See: Alladatin et al., 2024; Sauvé et al., 2024; Hotte et al., 2023

  5. Technology-enhanced programmes that build entrepreneurship, employability and future-ready skills — including the Sustaineur platform and research on AI chatbots and sustainability learning in higher education.
