CHI '26Honorable MentionDistributed Team Collaboration +2

Where Will They Click Next? A Social Foraging Model for Collaborating Teams

Modern knowledge work is increasingly collaborative, especially in information-intensive domains such as crisis response, scientific discovery, and software engineering. Software engineering epitomizes these trends through practices like pair programming and collaborative debugging. Yet existing computational models o…

CHI '26Honorable MentionSerious & Functional Games +2

Investigating the Interaction of Game Features and Spatial Skills with Performance and Perceived Difficulty in a Block-Based 3D Programming Puzzle Game

Block-based programming puzzle games are popular as engaging, visual tools for introducing novice learners to programming. Many incorporate 3D environments, where players navigate and solve spatial challenges. However, little research has examined how spatial reasoning skills interact with game features to shape playe…

CHI '26Human-LLM Collaboration +3

BiasViz: A Project-Based, Narrative-Centered Learning Tool for Engaging Middle School Students in Critical Thinking about AI Biases

Developing the ability to think critically about AI and interpret its outputs requires an understanding of AI bias, a key skill for both AI users and future developers. While some initiatives have introduced teens to algorithmic bias, few have engaged them in actively identifying and quantifying bias in real-world gen…

When AI Gets It Wrong: Scaffolding AI Hallucination Detection for Children Through Chatbot Creation

Children increasingly interact with generative AI systems that can produce hallucinated content, potentially reinforcing misconceptions and undermining critical thinking skills. We investigate how children detect and respond to hallucinations while building and testing LLM-powered chatbots in a development environment…

CHI '26Intelligent Tutoring Systems & Learning Analytics +2

Exploring the Design and Impact of Interactive Worked Examples for Learners with Varying Prior Knowledge

Tutoring systems improve learning through tailored interventions, such as worked examples, but often suffer from the aptitude-treatment interaction effect where low prior knowledge learners benefit more. We applied the ICAP learning theory to design two new types of worked examples, Buggy (students fix bugs), and Guid…

"Shall We Dig Deeper?": Designing and Evaluating Strategies for LLM Agents to Advance Knowledge Co-Construction in Asynchronous Online Discussions

Asynchronous online discussions enable diverse participants to co-construct knowledge beyond individual contributions. This process ideally evolves through sequential phases, from superficial information exchange to deeper synthesis. However, many discussions stagnate in the early stages. Existing AI interventions typ…

CHI '26Automated Driving Interface & Takeover Design +2

Matching Explanation Detail to Scene Complexity: Studying Situational Awareness-Specific AI Feedback in Pedestrian Encounter Driving Scenarios

Providing the same level of information through the in-vehicle interface can overwhelm automated vehicle occupants in simple scenarios or leave them underinformed in more demanding situations. This study investigates how human preference for in-vehicle feedback detail scales with scene complexity during pedestrian enc…

CHI '26Human-LLM Collaboration +2

Exploring Teacher-Chatbot Interaction and Affect in Block-Based Programming

AI-based chatbots have the potential to accelerate learning and teaching, but may also have counterproductive consequences without thoughtful design and scaffolding. To better understand teachers’ perspectives on large language model (LLM) based chatbots, we conducted a study with 11 teams of middle-school teachers us…

UIST '25Makerspace Culture +2

Designing Looms as Kits for Collaborative Assembly

Both engineering kits and collaboration skills are increasingly prevalent in education and are often used in conjunction, yet little research addresses how kit hardware can be designed to support collaboration. Collaboration skills are best acquired through carefully designed collaborative experiences. While prior wor…

CHI '25Privacy by Design & User Control +1

"A five-year-old could understand it" versus "This is way too confusing": Exploring Non-expert Understandings and Perceptions of Cybersecurity Definitions

Experts struggle with explaining cybersecurity in a language and tone appropriate for non-expert audiences. This communication gap may make it difficult for a broad and diverse audience to fully engage in cybersecurity. Fundamental forms of communication, such as definitions, can be for a means for experts to comm…
