The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence is pleased to present, in conjunction with the AAAI-11 Conference in San Francisco, California, th Second Symposium on Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence (EAAI-11), to be held August 9–10, 2011.
EAAI-11 provides a venue for researchers and educators to discuss pedagogical issues and share resources related to teaching AI and using AI in education across a variety of curricular levels (K–12 through postgraduate training), with a natural emphasis on undergraduate and graduate teaching and learning. The symposium seeks contributions showing how to more effectively teach AI, as well as how themes from AI may be used to enhance education more broadly (for example, in introductory computing courses or as a means for teaching computational thinking). We encourage the sharing of innovative educational approaches that convey or leverage AI and its many subfields: robotics, machine learning, natural language, computer vision, and so on.
The EAAI-11 proceedings will be published by AAAI Press as a section within the AAAI-11 Conference Proceedings.
Paths for Participation
EAAI-11 provides several paths for participation, including the following:
- Full-length papers (6 pages) and presentations for the symposium
- Extended abstract/poster contributions (2 pages) highlighting preliminary or ongoing work, or describing an educational innovation proposed to be presented in a demonstration session
- A Model AI Assignments session highlighting innovative, ready-to-adopt materials
- A workshop for mentoring new faculty, instructors, and graduate students on teaching
- An Educational Video Track within the AAAI-11 Video program
- A Student/Educator Track within the AAAI-11 Robotics Exhibition and Workshop
