Co-Design as a Means of Creating Inclusive and Effective Technology-Enhanced Learning Experiences
Wed, April 23, 10:50am to 12:20pm MDT (10:50am to 12:20pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 104Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
This session highlights the transformative shift in educational design through the co-design approach, engaging directly with the audiences these projects intend to serve. Traditionally, educational tools developed for underserved students lacked input from these very groups, often not fully meeting their needs or aligning with their perspectives. This symposium showcases six projects that integrate co-design practices to develop more effective educational technologies. Projects engage with a number of historically minoritized communities to improve improve access and belongingness and to explore a range of emerging technologies including AI, AR, VR, and BCI. Each project, employing full stakeholder participation from design to execution, will share insights and methodologies, followed by a Q&A session to deepen understanding and interaction among participants.
