Overview<br>
------------<br>
<br>
In the Middle Ages, most people were dependent on “scribes”, who
helped them to write down their thoughts, ideas, and stories, as
well as to read the material written by other people. Many people
today are in the same situation concerning digital media: they are
unable to express themselves, explore problem spaces, and
appropriate tools, and act as designers in personally meaningful
activities. They must rely on “high-tech scribes”. This 7th edition
of the CoPDA workshop series will explore new conceptual frameworks
and innovative computational environments for supporting
computational fluency allowing people to become independent of
“high-tech scribes”. The workshop will be in continuity with the
edition held in 2022 in Frascati (Rome) focused on the relationship
between AI and Human-Centered Design. An important challenge for the
researchers getting together in the workshop this year will be to
explore the foundational idea(s) that these workshops have pursued
and how they are related to each other. A particular objective of
all previous CoPDA workshops has been to collectively identify
important and interesting themes for future workshops and our hope
and expectation is that this will happen again this year by
exploring conceptual frameworks and socio-technical environments
making Computational Fluency a desirable and reachable goal for all
citizens.<br>
A student who has proficient skills in computational fluency would
be able to use strategies together with the facts he or she knows
how to identify a more challenging problem or another representation
of the solution. This is a step beyond Digital Literacy, which
focuses on mastering the tool in use (e.g.: keyboarding, surfing the
internet, proficiency with digital environments for reading,
writing, calculating, and communication), and beyond Computational
Literacy, which focuses on solving known problems in efficient ways,
including the use of coding. Digital Literacy and Computational
Literacy (at least some parts) are a prerequisite for Computational
Fluency, which emphasizes pursuing personal meaningful problems and
shared meaningful activities. Computational Fluency shows mastery
and appropriation of computational concepts by allowing one to
address new and wicked problems in a creative manner. These
abilities cannot be formally taught but can be nurtured, encouraged,
and supported with socio-technical environments and education
programs that foster reflection, creativity, and sharing.<br>
<br>
The workshop aims to discuss Computational Fluency in the Digital
Age by considering several topics including (but not limited to):<br>
- Computational Thinking<br>
- Design Thinking - Printed Fluency<br>
- Digital Fluency<br>
- Human-centered AI (HCAI) - Explainability of AI-based decisions<br>
- Evaluation of AI-based systems<br>
- AI support in everyday work<br>
- ChatGPT: Promises and Pitfalls<br>
- Big data and privacy<br>
- Adaptive, Adaptable, and Context-Aware Systems<br>
- End-User Development and Meta-Design<br>
- End-User Development for AI-based systems<br>
- Design Trade-offs between AI and EUD - Distributed cognition<br>
- Cultures of participation<br>
- Multi-dimensional aspects of learning<br>
- Collaborative learning<br>
- Educational nurturing<br>
<br>
