Pre-Conference Workshops - Half Day

Half-day pre-conference workshops centered on AI's impact across CSCL and learning sciences research, alongside career sessions and the doctoral consortium. Threads include rethinking assessment in the generative AI era, co-designing AI for collaboration and agency, building a shared CSCL taxonomy, and hands-on interaction network analysis (HINA).

Arts Gallery & Performance

Arts Gallery & Performance - Static Installations All Week

A week-long static gallery of arts-based installations exploring learning through the body, culture, materials, and emerging technology. Works span trans body politics and abolitionist imaginaries, immersive VR/AR and digital reading, and craft-based math via crochet, paper, and youth creative computing with community data art.

Collaborative learning with sociocultural considerations

Short papers on collaborative learning shaped by cultural and social context, from board-game redesign grounded in distributed cognition and culturally relevant pedagogy to belonging for minority computer science students. Several examine partnership-based work, including student-AI problem-solving, cross-disciplinary mentorship, and a 16-year Japanese lesson-study RPP.

Hybrid Symposium · ALP 1110

Revisiting Wise & Schwarz’s Provocations for CSCL: Partnerships for Transformation and Educational Change

Revisits Wise and Schwarz's 2017 provocations for CSCL and invites the broader learning sciences community to articulate a vision for the field's next decade. Researchers from ICLS and CSCL propose new provocations addressing the changing technological landscape and the need to center diverse perspectives in technology-enhanced collaboration.

Long Paper · ALP 2100

Knowledge Advancement

Long papers advancing methods and theory for collaborative knowledge building and convergence. Contributions include transitional spaces between group and individual learning, NLP-based semantic analysis of discourse, multimodal reflective assessment of socio-emotional interaction, and quantifying convergence via word-abstractness change detection.

Support for Collaborative Learning

Short papers on tools and designs that scaffold collaborative learning, with a strong emphasis on self- and socially-shared regulation. Approaches include TA awareness of pre-class reports, game-based simulations like MetaSim, generative-AI chatbots and the MIRACLE multi-agent system, plus a scoping review of AI-supported knowledge creation.

Dialogue and Collaboration

Papers on dialogue and collaboration across varied settings, including relational attunement in making, medical students shifting from cooperation to true collaboration, and parents revoicing to guide children's computational thinking. Further talks examine how language shapes access to tools and how productive confusion unfolds during VR collaboration.

ALP 1600

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.

Long Paper · ALP 2600

Noticing Learning

Long papers on teacher noticing and learning, including curriculum routines that mediate tensions with a collaborative AI agent and a critical look at the politics of what counts as noticing. Other talks frame teacher learning across the multiple rhythms of learning ecologies and use speculative interaction geography to imagine embodied interactions beyond AI prediction.
