Med Kharbach, PhD
Making sense of AI in education, through research and practice.
I explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping teaching, learning, and assessment and what it means to use it thoughtfully.
Research grounded in education
About My Work
I’m an educator, researcher, and instructor at Mount Saint Vincent University in Canada, where I completed my Master of Education and PhD. My work brings together literacy, language, educational technology, and critical perspectives on emerging literacies.
I approach AI as a literacy issue, shaped by pedagogy, context, and purpose. Through academic research, books, and practical resources, I support educators in making informed decisions about AI.
I also created Educators Technology in 2010, where I continue to share tools and ideas for teaching and learning.
