Learning, Education, and HCI.

In this SIG, we propose a gathering of researchers and practitioners thinking about HCI in learning and educational contexts to foster an ongoing Learning and Education community at CHI. With the recent increase in CHI submissions relating to learning (40% more submissions than previous CHI), this SIG is an opportunity to foster an inclusive dialogue on designing and studying phenomena, tools, and processes related to learning and education. This SIG will bring together researchers, educators, and practitioners with three goals in mind: (1) discussing more inclusive cross-disciplinary perspectives on learning; (2) defining future directions and standards for learning and education contributions in CHI; and (3) building community across research/practice boundaries.
