A short-paper session on group dynamics in collaborative learning, examining how active participation, role enactment, and disciplinary engagement unfold over time. Methods include implicit-scripts analysis, physiological synchrony, AR-based inquiry, and socially shared regulation in STEM.
A short-paper session on immersive learning across VR, AR, and mixed reality, addressing how to assess learning processes with multimodal and log data rather than pre-post tests alone. Studies span AR multispecies inquiry with bees, instructional sequencing in VR, career exploration, and mobile AR for adult language learning.
Five short papers on how bodies, movement, and representations mediate learning across science and mathematics. Topics include walking curricula reconnecting students with nature, transnational youth and climate justice, multimodal methods for analyzing embodied geometry, domain-inherent metaphors, and diagrams that bridge real and mathematical worlds.
Four papers exploring how the arts mediate identity, perspective, and political visibility for youth and learners. Threads include perspective-shifting through filmmaking, manga as counterspaces for queer youth, the director's role in ensemble learning, and how video analysis can racialize the visibility of Black learners.
Four long papers use multimodal data to study how emotions and teacher support are regulated during collaborative learning. Topics range from emotion regulation in student dyads building computational models to teacher orchestration load, proximity effects, and scaffolding via classroom chatbots.
A hands-on demo session showcasing AI-powered learning tools, including GenAI writing platforms, AI tutors for STEM and self-explanation, and teachable agents. Other demos cover collaboration analytics dashboards, agent-based modeling, VR reflection agents, and mobile creative-coding for community contexts.
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.
