Submissions before July, 30th, 2025

⚠️ ➡️ We invite you to submit a presentation proposal for the workshop in the form of an extended abstract (up to 1000 words), including a title, a short abstract (maximum 150 words), and references.

Workshop Research Objectives

• Explore theoretical and practical approaches for supporting the 4Cs through AI in diverse educational settings.
• Examine ethical, pedagogical, and technological considerations in AI-supported learning design.
• Engage participants in co-design activities for AI-enhanced learning tasks aligned with the 4Cs.
• Reflect on how AI can be designed to sustain teacher and learner agency.

• Analyse the current use of AI tools supporting the 4Cs in diverse educational contexts.
• Share research methods for designing and assessing 4Cs in AI-enabled learning activities.
• Explore learner and teacher agency in AI-supported activities.
• Identify ethical, pedagogical, and technological challenges and opportunities.

Expected Outcomes

• An interdisciplinary research and practitioner network around the 4Cs, Technology-Enhanced learning and AIED.
• A collaboratively defined framework or design principles for AI-enhanced 4Cs development.
• Prototypes and concepts for AI-supported learning activities.
• A position paper, editorial, or joint publication to disseminate insights.

Activities

Welcome & Framing Dialogue (30 minutes):
Participants will briefly introduce themselves and share a challenge or goal related to teaching or researching the 4Cs.
Prof. Dr. Margarida Romero will give a keynote talk where she will discuss key definitions, pedagogical frameworks (e.g., creative pedagogy, challenge-based learning), and examples of AI-supported tools to seed group discussion.

Case Studies of AIED supporting the 4Cs (2 hours):
Presenters selected from the pool of participants will share their own case studies where AI tools (e.g., chatbots, recommendation systems, generative tools) are used to scaffold critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.

Co-Design Session: Designing for the 4Cs with AI (1.5 hours):
Working in small, interdisciplinary groups, participants will select a target learning outcome (e.g., fostering creativity in group projects) and collaboratively design a learning activity that integrates AI support. Each group will apply principles of ethical design, formative assessment, and learner agency.

Ethics, Equity & Impact Dialogue (1 hour):
Participants reconvene to explore ethics, equity and impact in relation to the use of AIED for the 4Cs support.

Synthesis & Next Steps (30 minutes):
A final discussion and survey will surface insights from the day. Organizers will outline plans to synthesize outputs into a collaborative publication or toolkit, and participants will be invited to join a continuing network or working group.
