TLDR
Results showed that touch condition did not affect the frequency or equity of interactions, but did influence the nature of children's discussion, and in the multiple-touch condition, children talked more about the task; in the single- touch condition, they talk more about turn taking.Abstract:
This paper presents a classroom study that investigated the potential of using touch tabletop technology to support children's collaborative learning interactions. Children aged 7-10 worked in groups of three on a collaborative planning task in which they designed a seating plan for their classroom. In the single-touch condition, the tabletop surface allowed only one child to interact with the digital content at a time. In the multiple-touch condition, the children could interact with the digital content simultaneously. Results showed that touch condition did not affect the frequency or equity of interactions, but did influence the nature of children's discussion. In the multiple-touch condition, children talked more about the task; in the single-touch condition, they talked more about turn taking. We also report age and gender differences.read more

iPad in Education: A Case Study of iPad Adoption and Use in a Primary School
Sarah Henderson,Jeff Yeow +1 more
TL;DR: A case study of the iPad's adoption in a primary school, one of the first in the world to adopt it, concludes that its main strengths are the way in which it provides quick and easy access to information for students and the support it provides for collaboration.

Mechanisms for collaboration: A design and evaluation framework for multi-user interfaces
Nicola Yuill,Yvonne Rogers +1 more
TL;DR: This work uses social developmental psychology to characterize the design of multi-user interfaces in terms of how constraints on these mechanisms can be best used to promote collaboration, and identifies three mechanisms accounting for the success of such interfaces.

Multi-touch tables and the relationship with collaborative classroom pedagogies: A synthetic review
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to relate the design of the technical features with key pedagogic issues concerning the use of digital technologies in classrooms to provide a more robust basis for their integration in classrooms in terms of their potential to support or to improve learning.

When Smart Groups Fail
TL;DR: This article investigated how collaborative interactions influence problem-solving outcomes and found that both characteristics of proposals and partner responsiveness were important correlates of the uptake and documentation of correct ideas by the group, whereas less successful groups ignored or rejected correct proposals, whereas more successful groups discussed or accepted them.

Socially mediated metacognition: creating collaborative zones of proximal development in small group problem solving
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on a three year study of patterns of student-student social interaction that mediated metacognitive activity in senior secondary school mathematics classrooms and investigate conditions under which such interaction led to successful or unsuccessful problem solving outcomes.
