M218·MONDAY WORKSHOP: Teaching More Skills in the Same Amount of Time – Sketchtivity, an AI-Based Tutoring Platform for Free-Hand Sketching While Also Learning Spatial Visualization
Workshop Engineering Design Graphics Division
Mon. July 26, 2021 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Virtual, Online
Session Description

Ticketed event: $15.00
Sketching is a crucial skill in engineering, yet sketching education has continued to take a smaller role in engineering curriculum since the transition to Computer-Aided Design (CAD). There is a critical need for an educational solution that can both teach sketching effectively and provide the necessary human-like feedback without additional burden to or expertise needed by the engineering instructor. Using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), a sketch-recognition-based tutoring system allows students to sketch just as they would with pencil and paper while also providing iterative, real-time, and personalized feedback on their sketching ability. Sketchtivity is a tutoring system for teaching engineering students the critical skill of freehand sketching.

This workshop is an exhibition of Sketchtivity focusing on understanding and experiencing the tool through three lenses: (1) Educational impacts - classroom implementation and empirical learning outcomes, (2) Software functionality - how the software identifies, processes, and evaluates freehand sketches to provide meaningful feedback, and (3) Software experience - freehand sketching lessons followed by an opportunity to practice on Sketchtivity*. Sketchtivity sets a model for providing feedback on skills that previously have required more hands-on, qualitative instruction. This workshop presents a unique format that allows researchers to see the impacts of this tool through analysis and first-hand experience.

*Attendees are invited to bring their own tablets with pens—these are the ideal tools to experience the software to its fullest. After the workshop, attendees will still be granted access to the software to continue to explore its different features and practice their sketching skills.
