<\/p>\n

We aim to support active dialogue around submissions, transforming the review process itself into an interactive knowledge building experience, with the conference then providing additional time for sustained work with your ideas to advance collective goals. Accordingly, rather than proposal submissions entered separately into a conference system, they will be entered into Knowledge Forum\u2019s community space. There, team members will interact to facilitate design, implementation, and feedback. Conference proceedings will be published, with authorship as you propose originally\u2014<\/span>or expanded as you might prefer\u2014<\/span>based on ideas developed through this process.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Submitters must be KBI members<\/a><\/strong> and submissions\u00a0must include two elements:\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Written submission. A paper (long, short) or a poster, with KB ideas clearly stated and related to guidelines or themes that are listed on the home page, or additional themes below. \u00a0Of course, in the spirit of knowledge creation, we encourage you to build-on with new issues and themes related to our collective goals; and<\/li>\n
  2. Video submission. A two-minute\u00a0(maximum) narrated video that provides an overview of the submission conveying KB ideas & connections to themes to be raised to the attention of the viewer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Submitters must enter both their written and video submission into Knowledge Forum. There you will find a conference scaffold with supports for entering your submission; if necessary, you may also use your own structure.<\/p>\n

    We will provide three types of feedback for each submission (paper\/poster + video):<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. A primary consultant will provide the initial set of comments.\u00a0<\/li>\n
    2. Then one other designated community member, also engaged in initial consultations, will build onto the primary consultant\u2019s comments.<\/li>\n
    3. Then, authors of submissions interested in other submissions will be able to engage in written discussion of submissions to create thematic groupings and position their own work thematically.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      We understand time is limited so we plan an efficient process to advance and position your ideas in best context for ongoing discussion (September 1-October 8) and to encourage unique and engaging sessions that advance design challenges related to your work and conference themes (October through November conference, and beyond).<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      As our account suggests, we go beyond the traditional model in which papers are rejected or accepted. Adhering to the KB principle of \u201cImprovable Ideas\u201d, submissions will receive constructive feedback from reviewers and from the community at large, which the authors may incorporate into their submissions to improve the work. Therefore,\u00a0note that proposals will show authors\u2019 names, and reviewer feedback for contributions will NOT be blind.<\/strong>\u00a0As we are all working as\u00a0part of a KB community, we are taking collective responsibility for advancing knowledge for public good.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Current themes you may wish to build on:<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Theme\u00a01: Knowledge Building Innovation Network\u00a0<\/strong>
      Knowledge Builders across the globe are addressing the many and significant problems of our modern world. The Knowledge Building design experiment will make use of sophisticated analytic tools to support discursive connectedness and opportunistic alliances across communities, within and beyond the Knowledge Building Innovation Network. Partnerships for sustained innovation will position Knowledge Building International members to take collective responsibility for crossing boundaries, removing barriers, and closing gaps\u2013including gaps between schoolwork and knowledge work in the world beyond school.<\/p>\n

      Theme\u00a02: Knowledge Building Analytics: Exploring Distinctions Between Learning\u00a0Analytics and Knowledge\u00a0Building Analytics\u00a0<\/strong>
      New\u00a0assessments, analytics, and notification tools will be used to identify points\u00a0of convergence and divergence in the\u00a0work of different communities throughout\u00a0the knowledge building network. \u201cPlayable\u201d analytics will support exploration\u00a0of\u00a0view and metaspace idea landscapes, both locally and globally, while also\u00a0addressing local assessment needs. \u00a0Cross-community connections will open\u00a0new research and professional development opportunities for all sites. Based on\u00a0discoveries of cross-community alliances and challenges, we will schedule\u00a0webinars to advance common interests.<\/p>\n

      Theme\u00a03: A rising Knowledge Building Tide Lifts All Boats: New Knowledge Building\u00a0Research and Development\u00a0will Support a Coherent Approach to Modern Pedagogies\u00a0and Assessments\u00a0<\/strong>
      Knowledge Forum views and notes will serve as \u201cepistemic artifacts\u201d\u2014knowledge objects that aid in the further advancement of knowledge (Sterelny, 2005); in parallel, Knowledge Forum scaffolds will provide epistemic markers to facilitate new competencies (e.g., computational thinking, effective use of authoritative sources, evolution of thought, second-language learning)\u2014much as theory development has been targeted in the past. This will allow us to bring new competencies into focus to enhance the \u201cSaving the Planet, Saving Lives\u201d initiatives and to test models for \u201ca rising Knowledge Building tide lifts all boats.\u201d In contrast to approaches that use tests to assess the extent to which students possess certain \u201c21st- century skills,\u201d the design experiment will use sophisticated tools to determine the extent to which students are actually doing creative thinking, problem solving, design thinking, collaboration, effective communication, resulting in heightened sense of well-being and understanding in core content areas.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      During the Knowledge Building Institute each session will be hosted by a KB community member. The goal of each session will be to continue to advance work initiated in the KBSI2021 community space through lively KB discourse exploring how each contribution, or set of contributions, can help to lead our community forward on these and other themes.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      We look forward to your submission and your participation in this year\u2019s KB Institute where our focus will be on building knowledge for the public good while meeting new ideas and new people in Knowledge Building\u2019s Metaspace!<\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n

        Papers can be either long (3000 to 4000 words, without references) or short (2000 to 3000 words, without references) and should focus on conceptual or empirical contributions at an advanced stage of development. The long paper is for work requiring lengthy explanations of the conceptual background, methodology, data, analysis, and implications. We also welcome shorter papers reporting significant work in progress.\u2028Template:<\/strong> All papers should follow this template, and should be saved as a .pdf document:\u00a0<\/span>KBSI2021-Paper-template<\/a><\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          Posters allow colleagues to gather around visual displays for extended dialogue regarding novel and promising ideas. The work may be at advanced or early stages of development and might focus on Knowledge Building high points, discourse analysis, case studies, pilot initiatives featuring new knowledge practices, technology developments, exemplary work from teachers, students, administrators, engineers, researchers, and so forth.\u2028Template:\u00a0<\/strong>Poster submissions should follow this template, and should be saved as a .pdf document: <\/span>KBSI2021-Poster-template<\/a><\/p>\n
