Abstract

The availability of more mobile large factor touch-screen interfaces has allowed for research into collaborative learning that has previously taken place in single laboratory environments to be carried out at multiple schools in the real world simultaneously. This research focuses on a study which used the framework to investigate collaboration between groups of students at two geographically separate sites. The groups from the separate sites worked together to complete a task using video-conferencing and a novel flick gesture provided by the SynergyNet framework to transfer materials to each other. This paper details initial findings and the steps being taken to robustly analyze the data collected.
