Institute for Learning Sciences Speaker Series: Jim Slotta | University at Buffalo

Jim Slotta, PhD, will review prior work on a model for collective inquiry known as KCI: Knowledge, Community and Inquiry. As a pedagogical model, KCI guides the design of curriculum units that engage the classroom as a learning community, producing a knowledge base and assessable learning outcomes that target specified learning goals. I will also discuss recent work relating to smart classrooms for learning communities, including a flexible AI infrastructure called the SCripting and ORchestration Environment (SCORE) as well as a new authoring environment called the Intelligent Design Environment for Active Learning (IDEAL). Together, this work supports a vision for designing and enacting powerful new forms of collective inquiry, leveraging AI in ways that bring students and teachers together as a community. I will also discuss recent work on a project called the Critical Action Learning Exchange (CALE), which explores the creation of an inquiry curriculum that helps students form identity and gain meaning and purpose in their learning. Bio: Jim Slotta (co- PI) is a professor and the president's chair in knowledge technologies and education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto. #UBuffalo #InformationScience #AI #AIinEducation #ubgse
