And this is how we'll end up working for AI and how easily humans can become irrelevant in the world of AI =)

Our work on dissecting the temporal dynamics of embodied collaborative learning using multimodal learning analytics has now been published in the Journal of Educational Psychology. psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-20… Key insights: 1/ This study enhances our understanding of embodied collaborative learning in clinical simulations by integrating social constructivism, situated cognition, and embodied cognition theories. 2/ Utilizing multimodal learning analytics (MMLA), it reveals how students’ verbal, spatial, and physiological behaviors intricately interact during learning processes. 3/ The findings highlight the potential of MMLA in supporting feedback and reflection practices by identifying key behavioral differences in collaborative environments.

MBZUAI is starting an HCI department led by @xeeliz. Great news for the HCI community! I heard active hiring will soon follow when I visited them for the AI quorum in Feb: mbzuai.ac.ae/the-ai-quorum/

Statement by the NTEU Monash Branch Committee, condemning the University's allegations of misconduct against student protestors. Full statement can be read here: instagram.com/p/C7GiB8urrnM/…

We found that: 1️⃣ Data stories communicate insights well but not necessarily faster. 2️⃣ More efficient for single insights, but not for multiple insights. 3️⃣ Strong analysts might find storytelling elements disruptive. 4️⃣ Effective for all users, regardless of data literacy.

Is Data Storytelling actually better than conventional Data Visualization? 🤔 In our #CHI2024 study we put this to the test. Read the full paper here: export.arxiv.org/abs/2402.12634 @jimmie_yan @dgasevic @vanechev See the juicy insights below! #DataStorytelling #DataVisualization
