Education & Machines
Education increasingly involves communication between humans and machines...
...from the abacus, calculator, and first automated computer programs...

...to the use of instructional robots, artificially intelligent agents, virtual and augmented reality, and gamification.

can bring students closer to instructors, to one another, to the subject matter, and to intellectual and practical applications of such knowledge.
Human-Machine Communication
...but it’s not so simple (but it’s not so hard either). A few challenges that we’ll discuss:
● The “skin-bag bias” in interaction● Initial expectations and scripts for
human-machine communication● The (surprisingly?) social relationships
between human and machine● The unique demands (cognitive,
emotional, and physical) of human-machine interactions
What will you learn in this panel?
1. basics of theory and practice 2. research-supported best (and worst) practices 3. practical, cost-effective ways to engage students with human-machine communication across disciplines
