Supporting Argumentative Knowledge Construction in Face-to-Face Settings: From ArgueTable to ArgueWall Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL2011), Hong Kong, July 2011 (bib) |
Research on computer-supported collaboration scripts has so far widely neglected human-computer-interaction (HCI) aspects. This paper presents a set of case studies on the user interface of a computer application that smoothly fits into the practice of argumentative knowledge construction in co-located collaborative learning. During an iterative design process different user interface designs were evaluated regarding their effects on the knowledge construction process. Starting from a tabletop application ('ArgueTable') the design process led to an alternative display environment ('ArgueWall'), which uses laptops together with a shared wall display. The results show that HCI aspects can have strong effects on the scripted learning processes. Due to the inherent interaction of humans and computers, HCI should be an integral part of research on computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). |
