Pre-Conference Workshops - Half Day

Half-day pre-conference workshops centered on AI's impact across CSCL and learning sciences research, alongside career sessions and the doctoral consortium. Threads include rethinking assessment in the generative AI era, co-designing AI for collaboration and agency, building a shared CSCL taxonomy, and hands-on interaction network analysis (HINA).

Collaborative learning with sociocultural considerations

Short papers on collaborative learning shaped by cultural and social context, from board-game redesign grounded in distributed cognition and culturally relevant pedagogy to belonging for minority computer science students. Several examine partnership-based work, including student-AI problem-solving, cross-disciplinary mentorship, and a 16-year Japanese lesson-study RPP.

CSCL Invited Symposium

A plenary symposium reframing AI's disruption of learning through human-AI complementarity, the idea that people and AI systems contribute distinct, interdependent strengths. Spanning sociotechnical design, collaborative learning, cognitive augmentation, and AI ethics, it asks how hybrid collaboration can amplify human judgment and how tools and policies must change for equitable interdependence.

Teacher Learning and AI

Four papers examine how teachers develop AI literacy and capacity, from an activity-theoretical study of why educators disengage from building AI agents to Knowledge Building professional development through design thinking. Other talks propose a socio-cognitive framework for K-8 AI literacy and analyze shared epistemic agency when teachers co-plan AI-integrated lessons with generative tools.
