Collaborative ideation is essential for innovation and problem-solving, yet students often struggle to generate diverse and original ideas without adequate support. In this talk, Jérémy La Scala and Denis Gillet will explore how virtual environments and artificial peers—powered by large language models—can enhance collaborative ideation in educational settings.
They will introduce a web-based virtual environment designed to facilitate brainstorming, where students collaborate with artificial peers that generate real-time responses to enrich the ideation process. They will present findings from their recent studies on different collaboration models for idea generation and offer practical recommendations for designing brainstorming activities that leverage collective intelligence.
Within this context, they will examine the role and impact of artificial peers, which actively co-create by providing diverse and novel contributions during brainstorming sessions.
The talk will conclude with a discussion on effective interaction mechanisms—such as guiding questions and iterative feedback loops—that maximize the potential of artificial agents. They will also share practical strategies for integrating AI-enhanced collaborative ideation into project-based and design-based learning. Finally, They will explore future models of human-AI collaboration, considering how artificial agents can support group decision-making and problem-solving in education.
