Description

While AI offers promising tools to scaffold and evaluate these complex skills, it also raises essential questions about learner agency, ethical design, and the transparency of automated assessments. Emerging research highlights both the opportunities and the limitations of using AI to foster the 4Cs across diverse learning contexts, from formal education to lifelong and professional learning.

This full-day workshop invites researchers, practitioners, and designers to critically engage with how AI can be meaningfully integrated into learning activities to support the 4Cs. It will highlight theoretical foundations, present real-world case studies, and engage participants in co-design activities. The workshop is grounded in principles of hybrid intelligence, where human and artificial intelligence contributions are designed to complement each other for more inclusive, empowering learning experiences. The session is open to both experienced researchers in AIED and newcomers interested in learner-centered innovation.

Workshop Objectives

  • Explore theoretical and practical approaches for supporting the 4Cs through AI in diverse educational settings.
  • Examine ethical, pedagogical, and technological considerations in AI-supported learning design.
  • Engage participants in co-design activities for AI-enhanced learning tasks aligned with the 4Cs.
  • Reflect on how AI can be designed to sustain teacher and learner agency.

Workshop Goals

  • Analyse the current use of AI tools supporting the 4Cs in diverse educational contexts.
  • Share research methods for designing and assessing 4Cs in AI-enabled learning activities.
  • Explore learner and teacher agency in AI-supported activities.
  • Identify ethical, pedagogical, and technological challenges and opportunities.

Expected Outcomes

  • An interdisciplinary research and practitioner network around the 4Cs, Technology-Enhanced learning and AIED.
  • A collaboratively defined framework or design principles for AI-enhanced 4Cs development.
  • Prototypes and concepts for AI-supported learning activities.
  • A position paper, editorial, or joint publication to disseminate insights.
