The goal of this workshop is to bring together the existing community of researchers working on Infrastructure Design for Data-Intensive Research in Computer Science Education and a community of Learning at Scale researchers focused on Computer Science Education. While both communities share many similar goals and could greatly benefit from each other work, the interaction between the communities is small. We hope that the proposed workshop will be instrumental in bringing together like-minded researchers from different communities, establishing collaboration, and expanding the scope of infrastructure project to address critical scaling issues.

ProgSnap2: A Flexible Format for Programming Process Data
In this paper, we introduce ProgSnap2, a standardized format for logging programming process data. The goal of this common format is to encourage collaboration among researchers by helping them to share data, analysis code, and data-driven tools to support students. We first highlight possible use cases for ProgSnap2 and give a high-level overview of the format. We then share two case studies of our experience using the format and outline goals for the future of ProgSnap2, including a call for collaboration with interested researchers.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming pervasive across industries, making it important for management information systems (MIS) students to understand the ethical issues involved. We present an active learning approach to teaching the fast-changing topic of AI ethics using a debate format. This approach was piloted in an undergraduate MIS course of 30 students. Over a five-week period, student teams were assigned to argue either the opportunities (pro) or dangers (con) viewpoint for five different AI technologies. A post-project survey indicated this format helps students gain a better understanding of the applications, opportunities, and potential misuse of AI. Students found this to be an engaging and fun way to explore the multiple dimensions of AI ethics that also required them to employ critical thinking, collaboration, research, and communication skills. We share our findings about the benefits of co-creating knowledge in the classroom using a debate format to explore an evolving topic.more » « less

Effective researcher-coach relationships need reciprocal learning, which allows practitioners to share valuable contextual knowledge while researchers share evidence-based ideas. Nevertheless, these collaborations encounter obstacles due to power imbalances, which frequently establish researchers as authorities and reduce the role of practitioners as co-creators. Therefore, this study examines power dynamics in researcher-coach partnerships within educational contexts, emphasizing equitable collaboration strategies. Using Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) as a framework, this study analyzes video data from a writing intensive to explore interactions between two participants, Ashley and Russell. Findings reveal that initial tensions foster deeper understanding through negotiated power exchanges. The study underscores that openness, mutual trust, and reflective dialogue are essential for sustainable partnerships, advancing the understanding of power dynamics in researcher-coach collaborations.more » « less

Benjamin, Paaßen; Carrie, Demmans Epp (Ed.)There is a growing community of researchers at the intersection of data mining, AI, and computing education research. The objective of the CSEDM workshop is to facilitate a discussion among this research community, with a focus on how data mining can be uniquely applied in computing education research. For example, what new techniques are needed to analyze program code and CS log data? How do results from CS education inform our analysis of this data? The workshop is meant to be an interdisciplinary event at the intersection of EDM and Computing Education Research. Researchers, faculty, and students are encouraged to share their AI- and data-driven approaches, methodologies, and experiences where data transforms how students learn Computer Science (CS) skills. This full-day hybrid workshop will feature paper presentations and discussions to promote collaboration.more » « less
