We can probably come up with a better hashtag - I was just spitballing.

Education & Machines

Education increasingly involves communication between humans and machines...

Page 3: Power Up Learning with Human-Machine Communication

...from the abacus, calculator, and first automated computer programs...

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

Nick Bowman
Do we have a specific example from an educational setting?
Nick Bowman
I tried to add a "classic" one. =)
Chad Edwards
Classic game that almost all will remember.

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

Nick Bowman
The phrasing of "meaningful engagement" is a bit off - can we clarify and/or rephrase this?
Nick Bowman
Oh nice!

got it! just noticed Jaime's suggested fix on the doc and used the same wording here now
Page 6: Power Up Learning with 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

Nick Bowman
I broke the last one into two, to reflect the four-person proposal.

Nice! these look terrific!
Nick Bowman
This is GREAT stuff, [email protected] !
Nick Bowman
On this slide, I though we'd give just small teasers - The third bullet is basically a combination of my work on demand with Jaime's work on PAR (from our WVU talk). Could break into two separate points if you wanted.
Nick Bowman
OOHHHHHH...these are great. I love the "skin bag bias" - Dave calls it the human-human script.

What will you learn in this panel?

Page 8: Power Up Learning with Human-Machine Communication

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

Human-Machine Communication in the Classroom

Our panel brings scholars with varied expertise in communication technologies to share leading research and pedagogy that powers up the potentials of human-machine communication in education.

Nick Bowman
Love this. =)

Maybe this isn't needed.
Nick Bowman
Maybe we should all link our CVs?
autumn edwards
great idea, but our webpage is being integrated and may not happen in time
Nick Bowman
If you send me the documents, I can create permalinks for your's and Chad's?

Please considering voting for this panel for SXSWEdu 2017 and Power Up!

We’ll probably bring our robot

friends.

Any chance we can share pics of our robo-pals.
