Draw2Learn: A Human-AI Collaborative Tool for Drawing-Based Science Learning

Abstract: Drawing supports learning by externalizing mental models, but providing timely feedback at scale remains challenging. We present Draw2Learn, a system that explores how AI can act as a supportive teammate during drawing-based learning. The design translates learning principles into concrete interaction patterns: AI generates structured drawing quests, provides optional visual scaffolds, monitors progress, and delivers multidimensional feedback. We collected formative user feedback during system development and open-ended comments. Feedback showed positive ratings for usability, usefulness, and user experience, with themes highlighting AI scaffolding value and learner autonomy. This work contributes a design framework for teammate-oriented AI in generative learning and identifies key considerations for future research.
