| Speaker | Jennifer Olsen is a PhD candidate in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. She holds a B.S. in Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University. Her research investigates how to best combine collaborative and individual learning in an individual paced environment, such as when using an intelligent tutoring system, and how we can provide support for orchestrating these activities within the classroom through orchestration tools. Jennifer served on the program committee for the 5th Intelligent Support for Learning in Groups Workshop and was recognized as a 2017 Siebel Scholar. |

Multiple social planes (i.e., individual, collaborative, whole class) are often used within the same learning activity in the classroom. However, little research has investigated how to best combine collaborative and individual learning. To explore this question, it is important to be able to support both fixed classroom activity designs, as well as dynamic designs where the collaborative and individual phases can be adapted to the student needs. In this talk, I present initial studies that investigated fixed combinations for collaborative and individual learning along with initial research into how to model collaborative and individual learning to provide dynamic orchestration support for multiple social planes within the classroom.
