Tangible E-Learning

چکیده
Tangible User Interfaces increasingly gain attention for their supportive potential in cognitive processes. More and more often the terms e-Learning and tangible interaction are been referred to in one word as Tangible e-Learning. This paper gives a general overview on the topic in reference to development history, research and effectiveness. It explains how epistemology, together with its idea that physicality enhances learning and that the cognitive process can happen in expressive or exploratory manner, motivates the emerging of TUIs and acts as a basis for the classification of Tangible e-Learning Systems. The benefits of TUIs in comparison to classical GUIs in terms of their contribution to the learning process, engagement, enjoyment and collaboration are empirically proven, although poorly. Nevertheless, it is not known whether TUIs have stronger potential than common Physical User Interfaces that are not electronically augmented. Still, TUIs that support learning have a strong potential to be integrated into real world scenarios.

Combinatorix: a Tangible User Interface that Supports Colaborative Learning of Probabilities
Teaching abstract concepts is notoriously difficult, especially when we lack concrete metaphors that map to those abstractions. Combinatorix offers a novel approach that combines tangible objects with an interactive tabletop to help students explore, solve and understand probability problems. Students rearrange physical tokens to see the effects of various constraints on the problem space; a se...

In this study, the researchers attempted to extend the concept of learning companions from the virtual world to the real physical environment and made a breakthrough in technique development of tangible learning robots. The aim of this study was to explore an innovative way by combining the speech recognition technology with educational robots in the hope that the state-of-the-art technology co...
متن کاملExploring Adaptive Scaffolding in a Multifaceted Tangible Learning Environment
The majority of educational software is designed for traditional computers, which allow little opportunity for physical manipulation of an environment. Tangible Activities for Geometry (TAG) provides students a tangible learning environment. Currently, however, TAG does not employ adaptive scaffolding techniques. Accordingly, we describe how scaffolding techniques and teachable agent behaviors ...
متن کاملTangible Meets Gestural: Gesture Based Interaction with Active Tokens
Emerging multi-touch and tangible interaction techniques have a potential for enhancing learning and discovery but have limitations when manipulating large data sets. Our goal is to define novel interaction techniques for multitouch and tangible interfaces, which support the exploration of and learning from large data sets. In this paper we discuss conceptual, cognitive, and technical dimension...
