“…The essay by Jalal et al [48] defines pedagogical plans as anticipations of the activities that teachers plan to carry out. Even as they plan the activities, teachers know the plans will likely have to be modified as the activity unfolds.…”

A key feature of contemporary times is the high degree of complexity that impacts all spheres and aspects of today’s society, particularly within education. This complexity, deriving from a postdigital world in a polycrisis, causes continuous eventualities and results in these conditions of uncertainty. This contribution reviews the present literature on the issues of the unexpected and uncertainty. From the 13 articles included in the review, an attempt is made to define the terms “uncertainty” and “unexpected” in order to scan the management strategies proposed by various authors in diverse fields, highlighting the correlation between uncertainty, the unexpected, and anxiety. Although this review revealed a lack of a universal definition of the “unexpected” and “uncertainty”, the analysis seems to have revealed some common and essential features in various articles and perspectives on the topic. Suggestions drawn from the analysis prove particularly useful in investigating the implications that uncertainty and the unexpected have in education, especially in training future teachers.

“…It is particularly challenging to anticipate how learning activities will unfold. The introduction of digital tools adds another layer of complexity [48] as well as a new source of breakdowns [26]. Teachers have to manage their activities but also devices involved in classroom activities, often in a dynamic manner, under time constraints, with numerous learners, and pedagogical goals.…”

“…For teachers, the management of such device ecosystems is particularly challenging. In practice, this can become a barrier to the use of digital tools in classrooms [26]. Indeed, when breakdowns occur, teachers and learners can drift away from their main activity, as recovering from errors is costly in time and distraction [48], and they may not want to renew such experiences.…”

Orchestrating digital devices in classrooms is challenging. We conducted an observational study to understand how teachers manage multi-device classrooms involving tablets, computers, and video-projectors. Two categories of device management tasks stand out: content sharing and remote control. Based on our observations, we identify 17 multi-device management tasks that are important to teachers in this specific device configuration. We conducted a second study to investigate how teachers could perform these tasks with the help of a smartwatch. For remote control tasks, participants preferred smartwatches to interact from a distance, whereas for content sharing tasks they preferred to interact directly with the devices displaying the content. We outline design opportunities for multi-device management controls in learning environments, and challenges for HCI research on classroom orchestration.

“…We interviewed eight teachers (3 women, 5 men; age 26-50; 5 in middle school, 3 in high school) in Paris and Lyon, France, on their practices in planning and enacting digital activities [18]. The teachers specialized in a variety of disciplines such as French literature, Physics, Chemistry, History, English, German, Biology and Computer Science.…”

We present Toccata, a system that facilitates the management of rich multi-device pedagogical activities. Through interviews with high school teachers, we identified a set of barriers to conducting digital activities in schools: set-up time, network problems, difficulties in following and changing plans as activities unfold. We designed and developed Toccata to support the planning of pedagogical activities (scripting), seamless sharing of content and collaboration across people and devices, live management of activities in the classroom, roaming for situations outside classrooms, resumption across sessions, and resilience to unstable network conditions. We deployed Toccata in three classes, over seven teaching sessions, involving a total of 69 students. Together, these deployments show that Toccata is a generic solution for managing multi-device activities in schools. We reflect on how Activity Based Computing principles support Orchestration in Toccata, and discuss the design opportunities it creates such as better awareness of learners' activity, micro-orchestration techniques for enabling teachers to better control devices in classrooms, or supporting reflective practices of teachers.
