Workshop Schedule

27 June 2026

1 p.m.–1.30 p.m.

Welcome & Introduction

The workshop opens with a concise theoretical introduction to design fiction, learner agency, and extended cognition (Clark's four conditions). Participants are introduced to these conceptual lenses and their relevance for examining different forms of human–AI collaboration and AI-mediated learning.

1.30 p.m.–2 p.m.

Individual Analysis: Design Fiction Narratives

Participants individually read and analyze five design fiction narratives using a structured survey. For each story, they evaluate the level of learner agency and assess the degree of cognitive coupling by applying Clark's four conditions (reliable availability, easy accessibility, automatic endorsement, and integration into cognitive routines). They also reflect on the type of human–AI relationship represented in each scenario.

Break 2 p.m.–2.15 p.m.

2.15 p.m.–3.15 p.m.

Group Analysis & Redesign

Participants discuss their individual analyses in small groups and map the design fiction narratives onto a matrix based on learner agency and cognitive coupling. They then redesign the stories to achieve a more desirable balance between the two dimensions and derive design principles for future AI-supported learning environments.

Break 3.15 p.m.–3.45 p.m.

3.45 p.m.–4.45 p.m.

Group Presentations

Each group briefly presents its analysis of the design fiction narratives, including the matrix placements, proposed redesigns, and the resulting design principles for future AI-supported learning environments.

Break 4.45 p.m.–5 p.m.

5 p.m.–6 p.m.

Meta-Reflection & Research Agenda

The workshop concludes with a plenary discussion on the "From Tools to Teammates?" metaphor and the use of learner agency and cognitive coupling as analytical lenses for examining human–AI partnerships. Participants reflect on key insights, identify open research questions, and discuss future directions for research and design.
