Design of an interactive system for group learning support

摘要

In this paper we describe our project to design a system that can be used as a teaching aid to support group learning in elementary school education. The system enhances the learning outcome for pupils who have studied environmental problems using a textbook, by allowing them to construct a town in a physical space and to assess the construction through computer simulations. The system was designed in collaboration with teachers and their pupils in elementary schools. Lessons learned from the collaborative design processes are described.
