Activities
Welcome & Framing Dialogue (30 minutes): Participants will briefly introduce themselves and share a challenge or goal related to teaching or researching the 4Cs. Prof. Dr. Margarida Romero will give a keynote talk where she will discuss key definitions, pedagogical frameworks (e.g., creative pedagogy, challenge-based learning), and examples of AI-supported tools to seed group discussion.
Case Studies of AIED supporting the 4Cs (2 hours): Presenters selected from the pool of participants will share their own case studies where AI tools (e.g., chatbots, recommendation systems, generative tools) are used to scaffold critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.
Co-Design Session: Designing for the 4Cs with AI (1.5 hours): Working in small, interdisciplinary groups, participants will select a target learning outcome (e.g., fostering creativity in group projects) and collaboratively design a learning activity that integrates AI support. Each group will apply principles of ethical design, formative assessment, and learner agency.
Ethics, Equity & Impact Dialogue (1 hour): Participants reconvene to explore ethics, equity and impact in relation to the use of AIED for the 4Cs support.
Synthesis & Next Steps (30 minutes): A final discussion and survey will surface insights from the day. Organizers will outline plans to synthesize outputs into a collaborative publication or toolkit, and participants will be invited to join a continuing network or working group.
