Making the Learning Sciences Count: Impacting Association for Computing Machinery Communities in Human Computer Interaction

At CSCL 2013, a workshop proposed that a relationship develop between the learning sciences (LS) and humancomputer interaction (HCI). In the past six years, growth has been occurring in the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) conferences in HCI. Flagship conferences such as Computer-Human Interaction (CHI), Computer-Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW), and Interaction Design and Children (IDC) all have seen integration and participation of LS researchers into leadership and community positions. We believe it is time to evaluate this growth, but also to explore, challenge, and critique the development between LS/CSCL and the ACM conferences in HCI. This workshop focuses on the interdisciplinary examination between the norms, expectations, goals, and awareness of the two communities.
