Long Paper · ALP 2100

Collaboration Support

Four long papers explore tools and AI for supporting collaboration, including learning-analytics-augmented meta-discourse for shared epistemic agency and LLM agents that foster children's collaborative reasoning. Additional work covers augmented reality for product design in makerspaces and teacher perspectives on AI-supported collaboration in multilingual classrooms.

Short Paper · ALP 2200

Collaborative Learning Processes

Five short papers analyze how collaborative learning unfolds, using methods like Epistemic Network Analysis to model collaborative initiative in STEM simulations and multimodal interactions across jigsaw tasks. Topics range from combining intelligent tutors with concept maps and teachable agents to GenAI-supported interdisciplinary teams and age differences in older-adult learners.

Socio-Emotional & Group Dynamics

Five short papers examine the emotional and social side of collaboration, from team functioning and leadership in pediatric medical simulations to regulating epistemic emotions in higher- versus lower-performing CSCL groups. Other talks cover teacher learning on WhatsApp, a fifth-grade SEL digital curriculum, and boundary-crossing STEM competencies in global informal programs.

Symposium · ALP 2nd Floor Rear

Designing AI Partner-embedded Learning Environments to Support AI Literacies

This symposium reports on the Institute of Student-AI Teaming (iSAT), which designs AI partners as social collaborators that both facilitate group learning and become objects of inquiry so students can look under the hood of AI systems. Six posters spanning AI design, infrastructure, curriculum, and teacher learning illustrate a multi-state co-design process embedding AI within classroom collaboration to build AI literacy.

Long Paper · ALP 2100

Peer-feedback and Assessment

Four long papers address peer feedback and assessment in collaborative settings, including an item response theory model for multiple resubmissions and how pre-service teachers integrate multiple feedback messages. Further work examines peer feedback in interdisciplinary collaboration and a design space for dialogic assessment in CSCL.

Collaborative Learning Research Methods

Five short papers advance methods for studying collaborative learning, from reframing social annotation as a text-embedded analytics ecology to AI-powered knowledge graphs that make Knowledge Forum discourse visible. Other contributions theorize transitional space across individual and collective levels, formalize inquiry scripting, and review GenAI tools for collaboration.

Short Paper · ALP 2500

Role of AI in CSCL

Five short papers interrogate AI's evolving roles in collaborative knowledge work, including students' experience of AI as a creative collaborator and a typological framework for AI's epistemic authority in Knowledge Building. Additional talks examine children's epistemic agency in AI science eBooks, activity theory for human-AI teaming, and a three-year cross-community design study.

Symposium · ALP 3600

Towards a Robust Theory Toolbox for CSCL: Mechanisms, Models, and AI

This symposium argues that CSCL needs more robust theory built through formalized models, causal mechanisms, and generative AI to close the gap between theoretical positions and data. Presenters discuss computational modeling of collaborative scripts, temporal processes, and multimodal, multi-level collaboration as pathways to generalizable theory.

Poster · Online

CSCL Virtual Posters

A virtual poster session on computer-supported collaborative learning, featuring AI as a collaborative partner, adaptive support, and feedback literacy across peer, AI, and teacher sources. Methods span meta-analysis, scoping reviews, multimodal and physiological data on teamwork, teacher stress, and argumentative discourse.

CSCL Posters - Wednesday Poster Session (In-Person)

In-person CSCL poster session dominated by generative AI in collaborative learning, from teacher-in-the-loop essay scoring and AI lesson-planning to constrained GenAI for deeper learning and agency. Other posters cover multimodal and NLP methods for assessing collaboration, conversational agents in shared reading, and AI tools in arts learning.
