This article presents work undertaken with a class of Scottish Primary Six children (aged 10) to investigate the use of interactive whiteboard technology and interactive talking books in whole-class writing lessons. The paper reports on a research project with three aims: to investigate how the use of an interactive whiteboard to reflect on the language and style of professional authors influen...

This paper proposed a plane position detection method based on coding identification, discusses key problems to be solved in design of interactive electronic whiteboard with this method, gives structure and optical path design method of pen-based sensing system, discusses plane position coding method, comes up with solutions of coding of discontinuous code area and incremental coding of continu...

Teaching and learning process is the main factor in education. The use of whiteboard and marker while teaching is an essential media for delivering knowledge from a lecturer to students. In another side, it can cost in daily operation such as making marker dried because of capped-off, easily smudged and some whiteboard (for projector screen) is difficult to be clean if written. The objective is...

Interactive whiteboard technology is a helpful tool for learning to write. However, collaborative writing among English language learners using this remains underexplored. This study considers the potential effects of supported by interactive on students’ performance. A total 120 students who learned as foreign (EFL) participated in study. Quantitative results revealed that integrated with inst...

Concept maps have become a widely used educational tool around the globe. The advancements in computerized interface technologies have enabled even more alternatives for using concept maps in teaching and learning. This study investigates the effects of two different touch technology-based concept mapping interaction modes on students' learning achievements and learning attitudes in a natural s...

In this paper we propose a new electronic whiteboard system for teaching fractions, a fundamental math topic that is often problematic for students. A field interview with an elementary school teacher and an examination of a math textbook that is common in Japanese public schools produced a set of usage scenarios that motivated our tool. The result, FractionSketch, allows teachers to sketch sha...

We discuss an initial research concept for the application of the task-technology fit model to measure the factors that influence the utilization of interactive simulation for executive and managerial training. Interactive simulation is widely used by the military for senior leadership and managerial tasks. Simulation is also used commercially for training similar skills. We propose measuring t...
