My Goals
InvolveInform
Inspire
Outline Background and motivation
Pedagogical goals
The Classroom Presenter system
Why technology and pen-based input help?
Activities illustrating different pedagogical techniques that technology can support
Impact on students and instructors
Beth Simon to discuss Ubiquitous Presenter
Student Attention vs. TimeAttention
10 20 30 40 50 60 Time
Pedagogical Goals Active student involvement and
interaction in class Learning by doing
Real-time feedback to instructor on the level of student understanding To allow adjustment of material or speed
Give students a stake in their learning Integrate student examples into the
classroom discussion Acknowledge the contribution of diverse
viewpoints
Background:Classroom Presenter
Distributed classroom interaction system Built for use with Tablet PCs
Two main classroom usage scenarios: Presentation tool – instructors annotate slides
in ink (and save it), or use as a virtual whiteboard
Engagement tool – instructors pose problems (on slides) that students respond to by writing on slides and submitting this work anonymously
Classroom Presenter is freely available for educational purposes
Classroom Deployments
Classroom setup: Computer Science
undergraduate courses at Univ. of Washington
15-30 Tablet PCs used Instructor supplied
tablets Wireless environment Public display
Courses in: Software Engineering Digital Design Data Structures Algorithms Tablet PC Computing
Capstone CS Education
Seminar 4th grade Math
Other Deployments UCSC, UMass, Virginia Tech, MIT,
etc. Using student submissions
UCSD Ubiquitous Presenter
Elsewhere Widespread use as a presentation
tool
Supporting Pedagogical Goals: Breaking the Ice, Engagement
Why the Technology Is Key Gives instructor instant access to content
from a broad range of students … not just from the few vocal students Increases instructor’s awareness of student ideas
Enables instructor to immediately integrate student content into the lecture discussion Using actual examples of student work improves
feedback Gives students a stake in constructing new
knowledge Public display becomes a medium for sharing ideas
Doing all this anonymously
Why Pen-Based Input Is Key
Flexibility Some disciplines and some activities
naturally need the ability to sketch in free form
Architecture, Math, East Asian Languages, etc. Difficult to support without a pen-based input
device
Personal expressiveness Individual handwriting conveys more than
