To engage diverse populations of students who may not self-select into computing courses, a curriculum for a middle school music technology + computer science course that addresses learning standards for both subjects was developed and deployed. Students ...

This work aims to explore how a user’s understanding of a creative AI’s decision-making affects their experience when collaborating with it, through the inclusion of Explainable AI features in an interactive generative music system. We have created ...

Co-creative proccesses between people can be characterized by rich dialogue that carries each person's ideas into the collaborative space. When people co-create an artifact that is both technical and aesthetic, their dialogue reflects the interplay ...

As part of the 50th anniversary of SIGACCESS, a historical research project was conducted to investigate the establishment and history of the SIG. Based on interviews with key figures in the history of SIGACCESS, as well as examination of publications ...

Collaborative AI agents allow for human-computer collaboration in interactive software. In creative spaces such as musical performance, they are able to exhibit creative autonomy through independent actions and decision-making. These systems, called co-...

The 3D graphic score space created for this study is a non-immersive virtual reality space for creating musical scores utilizing graphic notation. This project involved two main aspects; developing the graphic score space followed by a two-part user ...

We present Aleatora, an early-stage framework for building compositions from lazy, effectful streams. Aleatora’s streams, which may be combined by sequential, parallel, or functional composition, are well-suited to expressing interactive and aleatoric ...

This study analyzes the impact of text versus audio chat in a remote collaborative live-coding music environment. Drawing on the literature discussing collaborative live-coding music, we wanted to examine the impacts of different chat methods on ...

Many important forms of collaborative learning are co-creative in nature. AI systems to support co-creativity in learning are highly underinvestigated, and very little is known about the dialogue mechanisms that support learning during ...

Computer science educators often use multiple creative computing platforms to motivate and support students learning computer science. Arguably, we understand little about the complementary ways in which the various platforms build on students' prior ...

EarSketch leverages the appeal of music to create a learning environment that allows students to be expressive with code.

Educators have long claimed that pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), ways of presenting a subject that make it comprehensible to others, is a critical element of student academic success. This paper presents an exploratory study finding that PCK ...

Educators have long claimed that pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), ways of presenting a subject that make it comprehensible to others, is a critical element of student academic success. This poster presents findings from a preliminary study of ...

The expansion of computer science into more classrooms invites researchers and evaluators to shift their focus from predominantly measuring student-level factors to measuring both student- and classroom-level variables. Research presented in this ...

Students who have positive attitudes towards computing are more likely to intend to persist in computing and ultimately persist in computing. Thus, this study describes the development and assessment of the Attitudes Towards Computing Scale, which was ...

This paper explores some of the challenges posed by automated grading of programming assignments in a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) based curriculum, as well as how these challenges are addressed in the automatic grading ...

STEAM education is an approach to engage students in STEM topics by prioritizing personal expression, creativity, and aesthetics. EarSketch, a collaborative and authentic learning tool, introduces students to programming through music remixing, has ...

EarSketch is a curriculum and learning environment designed to engage diverse student populations in introductory computing courses through an approach that connects coding and computational thinking with the composition, production, and remixing of ...

This paper describes handwaving, a system for participatory mobile music based on accelerometer gesture recognition. The core of the system is a library that can be used to recognize and map arbitrary gestures to sound synthesizers. Such gestures can be ...

Co-located collaborative live coding is a potential approach to network music and to the music improvisation practice known as live coding. A common strategy to support communication between live coders and the audience is the use of a chat window. ...
