Home Publications Conferences ISLS 2026 Conference Collection
ISLS 2026 ICLS and CSCL papers from the International Society of the Learning Sciences Annual Meeting in Irvine, California. Together, these projects examine how AI, multimodal data, and collaborative learning analytics can support learners without reducing the human judgment at the center of learning.
Shared Thread The five papers share a concern with how learning technologies represent student work, guide decisions, and preserve human judgment across study, assessment, collaboration, and problem solving.
