The new paradigm of “knowledge construction using experiential based and collaborative learning approaches” is an outstanding opportunity for interdisciplinary research. This document is an attempt to introduce and exemplify as much as possible using the lexicon of “social sciences”, considerations and tools belonging to “artificial intelligence” (e.g.: the machine learning tradition). In the p...
