Key Findings
Design for Assembly/Disassembly interventions improved open social robot usability from SUS 59.4 (Poor) to 89.4 (Excellent). Perceived workload predicts student uptake better than completion time. Co-creation with students in Guyana and Estonia.
Relevance to AI in Education
This paper contributes directly to understanding how AI systems interact with learners in authentic educational settings. Shows that co-created open social robots with DfA/DfD design achieve excellent usability and that perceived workload predicts student uptake better than build time.
