Innovative Design for Learning

A short-paper session on designing innovative learning environments, spanning embodied game-based math, collaborative argumentation amid misinformation, and shared feedback visualization in simulation debriefing. Several papers examine generative-AI chatbots in computing education, from technology acceptance to effects on fifth graders' computational thinking.

Collaboration with AI

Papers investigate human-AI collaboration in learning, comparing peer versus AI assistance in graph theory and examining cognitive, social, and metacognitive dimensions of student-student-LLM problem solving. Other talks design multi-agent AI systems and use deliberately biased chatbots to prepare teachers for collaboration.

Rise Above State-of-the-Art: Designing New Possibilities of GenAI for Knowledge Building

This symposium presents seven contributions on how Generative AI can enrich human-AI collaboration for Knowledge Building, moving beyond 'learning from AI' toward collaborative creation and learner epistemic agency. Designs span dialogic and integrated approaches across contexts from doctoral interdisciplinary research to K-12 classrooms.

CSCL Posters - Thursday Poster Session (In-Person)

An in-person poster session spanning collaborative learning research, with strong threads on AI literacy games, epistemic agency, and knowledge building alongside SEL, VR and maker collaboration, and equity-focused design. Studies range from a Turing-test game and weaving-based ML curricula to ceremonial Indigenous designs and belonging infrastructure in research-practice partnerships.
