“…Several technologies for classroom-wide, simultaneous student participation have been targeted toward students in developed world classrooms [1,27,29]. These systems are often prohibitively expensive for schools in developing regions, or only support limited student interaction.…”

A recent trend in interface design for classrooms in developing regions has many students interacting on the same display using mice. Text entry has emerged as an important problem preventing such mouse-based singledisplay groupware systems from offering compelling interactive activities. We explore the design space of mouse-based text entry and develop 13 techniques with novel characteristics suited to the multiple mouse scenario. We evaluated these in a 3-phase study over 14 days with 40 students in 2 developing region schools. The results show that one technique effectively balanced all of our design dimensions, another was most preferred by students, and both could benefit from augmentation to support collaborative interaction. Our results also provide insights into the factors that create an optimal text entry technique for single-display groupware systems.

“…Advances in the computing power of mobile devices, along with ubiquitous wireless Internet access, means that a person can always be connected, and in theory can work and learn at any time and any place. Innovators have called attention to the profound implications mobile learning technologies have for education (Bjerede, Atkins, & Dede, 2010;Breck, 2007;van't Hooft, 2008), but at this point the research on large-scale one-to-one computer initiatives offers limited support for widespread implementation (Swan, Kratcoski, & van't Hooft, 2007;Swan, van't Hooft, Kratcoski, & Unger, 2005;Tinker, Horwitz, Bannasch, Staudt, & Vincent, 2007). Despite the mixed research support for one-to-one initiatives, schools continue to make significant investments in mobile technologies.…”
