Most research and practice have focused on how we can scaffold students' GenAI use, for example through prompts, guardrails, or redesigned tasks. This talk asks a simpler question that has received far less attention. When should students be allowed to use AI so that it helps their learning?<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn this lunch&LEARN session, Janne Rotter turns to a question that's been largely overlooked: not how, but when should students be allowed to use AI for it to actually support learning? Janne will present findings from a study of 105 university students comparing three conditions: unrestricted AI access, no access at all, and a \"timed\" condition where students could only turn to AI after first attempting the task on their own.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDrawing on multiple pedagogical theories to build a decision rule for when access should open up, the results show that students in the timed condition outperformed those with unrestricted access on an objective post-test, and had a more accurate sense of their own understanding, without an explicit metacognitive prompting. Compared to withholding AI entirely, timed access also seemed to reduce task errors and time spent on task.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nJoin us to learn more about the topic and engage in further discussion. <br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-24T15:53:46", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-28T15:37:37", "link_label": "Registration/zoom", "link_url": "https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/9pBBuqZHQge7OmGTm0Kedg#/registration", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "ME A3 31", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ME%20A3%2031", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/9pBBuqZHQge7OmGTm0Kedg#/registration", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/janne.rotter?lang=en\">Janne Rotter</a>", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://learn.epfl.ch/en/homepage/\">Center LEARN</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</a>", "is_internal": "True", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "lunch&LEARN, Center LEARN, teaching, learning, AI", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121926/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/3/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/65/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/85/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/323/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/416/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72724, "title": "Designing Social Robots with Older Adults: Context, Adaptation, and Dignity", "slug": "designing-social-robots-with-older-adults-context", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/designing-social-robots-with-older-adults-context", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33940/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33940/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33940/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-11-11", "end_date": "2026-11-11", "start_time": "11:00:00", "end_time": "12:00:00", "description": "<p>How social robots look, behave, and offer support should reflect the people and environments they encounter. Drawing on studies with older adults in rural Indiana and urban Houston, this talk examines how individual needs, preferences, everyday surroundings, and care relationships can inform the physical forms and interaction styles of future social robots.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThrough participatory design, observations, and interviews, I center older adults’ perspectives on meaningful support, acceptable interaction, and personal boundaries. Encounters with robot companions have brought moments of enjoyment, surprise, and support, while revealing challenges involving communication, expectations, privacy, and control. I explore how embodiment, movement, voice, and interaction pacing shape these experiences, and how caregivers can support engagement while preserving older adults’ choices and dignity.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThese findings inform design requirements for robots that people can understand, guide, and adjust as their circumstances change. I connect them to opportunities for adaptive robot behavior, accessible interaction, and shared control, including how robots might recognize when assistance is welcome and make their actions easier to interpret or interrupt. The talk positions older adults as active contributors to robotics research, whose lived expertise can shape both future robot companions and the broader systems of support surrounding them.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography</strong><br>\r\nChorong Park, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor and Presidential Frontier Faculty at the University of Houston’s Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design, where she leads the Empathetic Lifespan AI & Robotics for Aging (ELARA) Lab. Her research connects human–robot interaction, human-centered AI, and participatory design to develop social robots and supportive technologies with older adults and caregivers.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDrawing on studies in rural Indiana and urban Houston, she investigates how robots’ physical forms and interactions can fit older adults’ needs, surroundings, and everyday lives. Her work centers older adults’ perspectives on companionship, support, privacy, personal boundaries, and dignity, including how caregiver involvement can preserve individual choice and control.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHer research is informed by more than 500 hours of volunteer technology support with older adults and people with disabilities and has appeared at ACM CHI, ACM ASSETS, and IEEE robotics venues. She earned her Ph.D. in Technology, with a graduate minor in Gerontology, and her master’s degree in UX Design from Purdue University.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Further information</u>:<br>\r\nUniversity of Houston research feature<br>\r\n(<a href=\"https://stories.uh.edu/2026-ai-robots-for-older-adults/index.html\">https://stories.uh.edu/2026-ai-robots-for-older-adults/index.html</a>)<br>\r\nELARA Lab website<br>\r\n(<a href=\"https://elaralab.org/\">https://elaralab.org</a>/)<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-30T16:15:15", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-30T16:25:59", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "ME A3 31", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ME%20A3%2031", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/69492652047", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://elaralab.org/\">Prof. Chorong Park</a>", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/research/domains/robotics/\">Robotics Center</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/anca.rusu?lang=en\">Anca Rusu</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/122004/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/416/?format=api" ] } ] }
