The Human Factors in Computing Systems conference
or CHI is the largest HCI conference in the
world and a great place to see the latest
interaction research.
Many of these ideas could have a big impact
on Education but there’s over 300 papers
and video showcases.
I’ve watched them all and wanted to highlight
the best papers related to Education.
I’m DoctorET and this is Ed on Ed Tech
Lets get right into it.
