AI & XR Educator, Researcher, Speaker
I study how conversational AI and immersive environments can reduce learner anxiety and build communicative competence in high-stakes contexts, turning AI from impressive technology into meaningful learning.
Dr. Amany Alkhayat is an AI and XR researcher, educator and UX designer who designs conversational AI tutoring systems and virtual/mixed reality learning environments. Holding an Ed.D. in Instructional Technology and Media from Teachers College, Columbia University, she has reached over 7,000 students across 3 continents and delivered 200+ workshops on integrating AI and immersive technology into education. Her work turns AI from impressive technology into measurable learning outcomes
She argues that purposeful design of AI tutoring systems is not optional. Without pedagogically grounded design, AI risks producing tools that impress users without meaningfully supporting learning.
