• Title: All Together Now: Teachers as Research Partners in the Design of Search Technology for the Classroom
• Authors: Emiliana Murgia, Monica Landoni, Theo Huibers, Maria Soledad Pera
• Abstract summary: We showcase the value of involving teachers in all aspects related to the design of search tools for the classroom. We share insights on the role of the experts-in-the-loop, i.e., teachers who provide the connection between search tools and students.

• Abstract: In the classroom environment, search tools are the means for students to access Web resources. The perspectives of students, researchers, and industry practitioners lead the ongoing research debate in this area. In this article, we argue in favor of incorporating a new voice into this debate: teachers. We showcase the value of involving teachers in all aspects related to the design of search tools for the classroom; from the beginning till the end. Driven by our research experience designing, developing, and evaluating new tools to support children's information discovery in the classroom, we share insights on the role of the experts-in-the-loop, i.e., teachers who provide the connection between search tools and students. And yes, in our case, always involving a teacher as a research partner.

  We explore five aspects of writing assistants: task, user, technology, interaction, and ecosystem. Within each aspect, we define dimensions (i.e., fundamental components of an aspect) and codes (i.e., potential options for each dimension) by systematically reviewing 115 papers. Our design space aims to offer researchers and designers a practical tool to navigate, comprehend, and compare the various possibilities of writing assistants.
