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.

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.

#1368: “On the fly”: A collaborative game for musical improvisation

"On the Fly" is a card-and-dice game that supports musicians in practicing collaborative improvisation through generative constraints, asking players to improvise performances that enact contours shown on cards. It functions at once as a performance format, a pedagogical tool, and a research instrument for theorizing how improvisation is learned.
