The ninth international Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning conference is in Hong Kong this year from July 6-8. I'll be presenting two posters with my co-authors.

This WISE Idea Manager: A tool to scaffold the collaborative construction of evidence-based explanations from dynamic scientific visualizations.

This poster is part of an interactive poster session, Collaboration as Scaffolding: Learning Together with Dynamic, Interactive Scientific Visualizations and Computer Models. It reports preliminary findings of a classroom trial of an idea management tool in an online high school curriculum unit on the causes of the seasons.

Agreeing to Disagree: Challenges with ambiguity in visual evidence.

This poster illustrates the persuasive abilities of two students disputing the meaning of a graph on global temperature change, and the challenges they face evaluating visual evidence.
