CSCL Invited Symposium

A plenary symposium reframing AI's disruption of learning through human-AI complementarity, the idea that people and AI systems contribute distinct, interdependent strengths. Spanning sociotechnical design, collaborative learning, cognitive augmentation, and AI ethics, it asks how hybrid collaboration can amplify human judgment and how tools and policies must change for equitable interdependence.
