Abstract
The theory and practice of knowledge building is one of the most well-known and influential educational approaches seeking to foster a culture of creativity, collaboration, and innovation in classrooms. To date, knowledge building research has focused on the sociocognitive and technological dynamics required to sustain knowledge building but has not focused specifically on the unique infrastructures that enable them. To contribute new ideas that can advance our understanding of what and how infrastructures enable knowledge building, this workshop will explore and synthesize ongoing research that includes a variety of examples that deal with and conceptualize knowledge building infrastructures. The workshop is organized into four sections, with both pre- and post-activities, and have three types of participants: invited speakers; key contributors; and active participants. Ultimately, the goal is to find ways to widen participation in knowledge building endeavors within existing or new implementations across the world.

Bibliographical note
Funding Information:The theory and practice of Knowledge Building (KB), introduced by Scardamalia and Bereiter in the early 1990’s, is one of the most well-known and influential educational approaches seeking to foster a culture of creativity, collaboration, and innovation in classrooms (Chan & van Aalst, 2018). It is supported by a pioneering CSCL environment named Knowledge Forum. KB was heavily influenced by the ideas of authenticity and enculturation. Following this logic, KB communities are designed to approximate the culture of authentic knowledge building organizations and their practices within classroom contexts (Hod & Sagy, 2019).
