Overview<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”. <br>
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 <br>
- Printed Fluency<br>
- Digital Fluency<br>
- Human-centered AI (HCAI) <br>
- 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 <br>
- Distributed cognition<br>
- Cultures of participation<br>
- Multi-dimensional aspects of learning<br>
- Collaborative learning<br>
- Educational nurturing<br>
<br>
