“…Existing studies ( [4,5,11], among others), confirm the merits of this initial proposal to support collaborative learning around multi-touch tables. However, collaboration comes with its own challenges, including conflict due to group dynamics, ensuring equitable contribution, effectively supporting distributed tasks and transitioning back to whole group activity -challenges that may be compounded by limitations in the supporting technology [3,5,15].…”

“…Building on research in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL), we started with a premise of technological support for co-located, collaborative learning activities around large, shared, multi-touch tables. This was to harness recognised benefits exhibited in intuitive, active, enthusiastic, tangible interaction within groups around tables [3,4,5,7,11,15]. This leads to our initial research question:…”

Abstract. We report two studies that fed into user-centred design for pedagogical and technological scaffolds for social, constructive learning through creative, collaborative, reflective video composition. The studies validated this learning approach, and verified the utility and usability of an initial prototype (scaffold) built to support it. However, challenges in interaction with the target technology, multi-touch tabletops, impacted ability to carry out prescribed learning activities. Our findings point to the need to investigate an alternative approach, and informed redesign of our scaffolds. We propose coupling of distributed user interfaces, using mobile devices to access large, shared displays, to augment capability to follow our constructive learning process. We discuss also the need to manage recognised challenges to collaboration with a distributed approach.

“…Design for configuration The specific tutorial session is chosen since it matches several affordances of the tabletop-based classroom (Dillenbourg and Evans 2011). The digital teaching and learning environment includes a concept mapping tool, instrumentation to capture voice and touch log data, software for the post-processing and mining of educational data, as well as a dashboard for real-time classroom coordination.…”

This paper concerns sustainable approaches to design for learning, emphasising the need for designs to be able to thrive outside of the protective niches of project-based innovation. It builds on the ''in medias res'' framework and more specifically on a forward-oriented approach to design for learning: one that takes a pro-active design stance with respect to each of the phases of an extended lifecycle. We draw on fieldwork notes and interview data to describe two cases that illustrate some of the key features of the approach. Recommendations for further R&D in the area of design for learning are provided, derived from the theoretical framework, and illustrated in this paper.

“…Nevertheless, some particular difficulties in coordinating collaborative face-to-face work have been reported when multiple people share a single personal device (Okdie, Guadagno, Bernieri, Geers, & McLarneyVesotski, 2011). As a result, there has been a growing interest in moving from considering single devices to considering the ecologies of devices needed to support fluid interaction and mutual awareness in face-to-face collaborative work (Haller, Leitner, Seifried, Wallace, Scott, Richter, Brandl, Gokcezade, & Hunter, 2010) and collaborative learning (Dillenbourg & Evans, 2011;Vasiliou, Ioannou, & Zaphiris, 2014). These emerging ecologies often feature interactivity among physical and digital objects and allow users to physically interact with digital surfaces while communicating faceto-face.…”

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.
