Human computer interaction and cognitive issues

Short papers on human-computer interaction in learning, including linguistic cues in human versus AI feedback, gesture-based heritage-language literacy, and real-time metacognitive feedback. Several talks design AI partners and multi-agent systems supporting self-regulated learning and metacognitive calibration.

Learner Interactions with AI Agents

Long papers examining how learners and teachers perceive and interact with AI agents, including shifting mental models of statistics tutors and science-lab chatbots. Studies also cover AI chatbots for teacher reflection and how anthropomorphic digital-human teachers affect cognitive engagement, measured via eye-tracking.
