Effect of Different Communication Affordances on the Emergence of Collaboration Strategies in an Online Multiplayer Game

Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Hala Khodr, Aditi Kothiyal

In a group, the collective dynamics is governed by the inter- actions between individuals, which can manifest differently depending on the available means of communication. In this paper, we compare 3 conditions of communication affordances (global chat, l ...

How a Social Robot's Vocalization Affects Children's Speech, Learning, and Interaction

Barbara Bruno, Aditi Kothiyal

A wider incorporation of robots into classrooms is hampered by current technological limitations on full autonomy in social robots. Automated speech recognition, for example, a key enabler for vocal communication, is still unable to perform with sufficient ...

Temporal Pathways to Learning: How Learning Emerges in an Open-ended Collaborative Activity

Pierre Dillenbourg, Mortadha Abderrahim, Jauwairia Nasir, Aditi Kothiyal

The learning process depends on the nature of the learning environment, particularly in the case of open-ended learning environments, where the learning process is considered to be non-linear. In this paper, we report on the findings of employing a multimo ...
