Effect of Different Communication Affordances on the Emergence of Collaboration Strategies in an Online Multiplayer Game

Pierre Dillenbourg, Hala Khodr, Barbara Bruno, Aditi Kothiyal

In a group, the collective dynamics is governed by the inter- actions between individuals, which can manifest differently depending on the available means of communication. In this paper, we compare 3 conditions of communication affordances (global chat, l ...

How a Social Robot's Vocalization Affects Children's Speech, Learning, and Interaction

Barbara Bruno, Aditi Kothiyal

A wider incorporation of robots into classrooms is hampered by current technological limitations on full autonomy in social robots. Automated speech recognition, for example, a key enabler for vocal communication, is still unable to perform with sufficient ...

Temporal Pathways to Learning: How Learning Emerges in an Open-ended Collaborative Activity

Pierre Dillenbourg, Mortadha Abderrahim, Jauwairia Nasir, Aditi Kothiyal

The learning process depends on the nature of the learning environment, particularly in the case of open-ended learning environments, where the learning process is considered to be non-linear. In this paper, we report on the findings of employing a multimo ...

Many Are The Ways to Learn: Identifying multi-modal behavioral profiles of collaborative learning in constructivist activities

Pierre Dillenbourg, Jauwairia Nasir, Barbara Bruno, Aditi Kothiyal

Understanding how learners engage with learning technologies, and its relation with their learning, is crucial to the design of effective learning interventions. Assessing the learners’ state however, is non-trivial. Research suggests that performance is n ...

Tracing Embodied Narratives of Critical Thinking

Shitanshu Mishra, Aditi Kothiyal

Critical Thinking (CrT) is generally characterized as an abstract thinking process, detached from the (bodily) actions one engages in during the process. Though recent cognitive theories assert that all thinking is action-based, the embodied and distribute ...
