“…According to the literature, depending on personal choice, users of design tools deployed in personal computers adopt a cognitive representation of the type of information and its relationships presented in different windows or screens (Norman, Weldon, & Shneiderman, 1986). While it can be convenient for a solo user to have everything in one system, in the case of collaborative work, having all the information and tools distributed across persistent displays and/or other physical objects is highly valuable.…”

Across a broad range of design professions, there has been extensive research on design practices and considerable progress in creating new computer-based systems that support design work. Our research is focused on educational/instructional design for students' learning. In this sub-field, progress has been more limited. In particular, neither research nor systems development have paid much attention to the fact that design is becoming a more collaborative endeavor. This paper reports the latest research outcomes from R&D in the Educational Design Studio (EDS), a facility developed iteratively over four years to support and understand collaborative, real-time, co-present design work. The EDS serves to (i) enhance our scientific understanding of design processes and design cognition and (ii) provide insights into how designers' work can be improved through appropriate technological support. In the study presented here, we introduced a complex, multiuser, digital design tool into the existing ecology of tools and resources available in the EDS. We analysed the activity of four pairs of 'teacher-designers' during a design task. We identified different behaviors -in reconfiguring the task, the working methods and toolset usage. Our data provide new insights about the affordances of different digital and analogue design surfaces used in the Studio.

“…Using multiple views for visualization is not a new concept, and early examples date back to the beginnings of the field [27]. Baldonado et al [4] gave general guidelines on the use of multiple views in information visualization, and North and Shneiderman [30,28,29] discussed relational models for achieving this.…”

We propose the notion of composite visualization views (CVVs) as a theoretical model that unifies the existing coordinated multiple views (CMV) paradigm with other strategies for combining visual representations in the same geometrical space. We identify five such strategies-called CVV design patterns-based on an extensive review of the literature in composite visualization. We go on to show how these design patterns can all be expressed in terms of a design space describing the correlation between two visualizations in terms of spatial mapping as well as the data relationships between items in the visualizations. We also discuss how to use this design space to suggest potential directions for future research.

“…For example, cognitive layout theory involves the use of specific areas on a computer screen which are dedicated to specific pieces of information (Norman, Weldon, and Shneiderman 1986), just as is the case with the layout of a journal entry, and this organizational aspect of the layout helps users to relate or organize information appropriately. In terms of absorbing information, more basic information related to form and location are analysed first, and more contextual elements are processed later (Berry 1990).…”

When double entry bookkeeping emerged in the late 13th century, students of accounting were mainly sons or employees of merchants and other craftsmen. They were highly motivated to learn and had ready access to real examples of what they were learning.Students today see little relevance in learning double entry bookkeeping and find it difficult to learn how to prepare journal entries correctly and, in particular, struggle with the first stage of the double entry process: identifying which accounts are to be debited and which are to be credited for each transaction.
