To address this gap, we conducted an exploratory study with 84 German secondary school students aged 1...

Generative AI User Experience: Developing Human--AI Epistemic Partnership

Generative AI (GenAI) has rapidly entered education, yet its user experience is often explained through adoption-oriented constructs such as usefulness, ease of use, and engagement. We argue that these constructs are no longer sufficient because systems such as ChatGPT do not merely support learning tasks but also participate in knowledge construction. Existing theories cannot explain why GenAI frequently produces experiences characterized by negotiated authority, redistributed cognition, and ac...

Reliable Classroom AI via Neuro-Symbolic Multimodal Reasoning

Classroom AI is rapidly expanding from low-level perception toward higher-level judgments about engagement, confusion, collaboration, and instructional quality. Yet classrooms are among the hardest real-world settings for multimodal vision: they are multi-party, noisy, privacy-sensitive, pedagogically diverse, and often multilingual. In this paper, we argue that classroom AI should be treated as a critical domain, where raw predictive accuracy is insufficient unless predictions are accompanied b...
