Using Mobile Eye-Trackers to Unpack the Perceptual Benefits of a Tangible User Interface for Collaborative Learning

Guillaume Zufferey, Sébastien Cuendet, Pierre Dillenbourg, Bertrand Roland Schneider, Kshitij Sharma

In this study, we investigated the way users memorize, analyze, collaborate, and learn new concepts on a Tangible User Interface (TUI). Twenty-seven pairs of apprentices in logistics (N = 54) interacted with an interactive simulation of a warehouse. Their ...

Detecting Collaborative Dynamics Using Mobile Eye-Trackers

Guillaume Zufferey, Sébastien Cuendet, Pierre Dillenbourg, Bertrand Roland Schneider, Kshitij Sharma

: Prior work has successfully described how low and high-performing dyads of students differ in terms of their visual synchronization (e.g., Barron, 2000; Jermann, Mullins, Nuessli & Dillenbourg, 2011). But there is far less work analyzing the diversity of ...

An integrated way of using a tangible user interface in a classroom

Sébastien Cuendet, Pierre Dillenbourg, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey

Despite many years of research in CSCL, computers are still scarcely used in classrooms today. One reason for this is that the constraints of the classroom environment are neglected by designers. In this contribution, we present a CSCL environment designed ...

Screen or Tabletop: An Eye-Tracking Study of the Effect of Representation Location in a Tangible User Interface System

Sébastien Cuendet, Pierre Dillenbourg, Mina Shirvani Boroujeni, Lorenzo Lucignano, Beat Adrian Schwendimann

This article presents a comparison of the effects of input-output location (co-located versus discrete) on user performance in a tangible user interface (TUI) system. We conducted a mobile eye-tracking study with two different versions of a TUI system and, ...

The Benefits and Limitations of Distributing a Tangible Interface in a Classroom

Sébastien Cuendet, Pierre Dillenbourg

We report the design and testing of TapaCarp, a CSCL environment for carpenter apprentices. From the start, we designed TapaCarp for a classroom usage. This led to an interface distributed over several components and modalities. A first user study conducte ...

Designing Augmented Reality for the Classroom

Sébastien Cuendet, Pierre Dillenbourg, Quentin Bonnard

Augmented reality (AR) has recently received a lot of attention in education. Multiple AR systems for learning have been developed and tested through empirical studies often conducted in lab settings. While lab studies can be insightful, they leave out the ...

Tangible vs. Virtual Representations: when Tangibles Benefit the Training of Spatial Skills

Sébastien Cuendet, Pierre Dillenbourg, Engin Walter Bumbacher

Tangible user interfaces (TUIs) have been the focus of much attention in the HCI and learning communities because of their many potential benefits for learning. However, there have recently been debates about whether TUIs can actually increase learning out ...

Tangible interfaces: when physical-virtual coupling may be detrimental to learning

Sébastien Cuendet, Pierre Dillenbourg, Patrick Jermann

Tangible user interfaces (TUIs) have been the focus of much attention recently in the HCI and learning communities. Although TUIs seem to intuitively offer potential to increase the learning experience, there have been questions about whether they actually ...

Classroom orchestration : The third circle of usability

Guillaume Zufferey, Sébastien Cuendet, Pierre Dillenbourg, Patrick Jermann, Hamed Seiied Alavi, Frédéric Kaplan, Lenh Hung Son Do, Quentin Bonnard

We analyze classroom orchestration as a question of usability in which the classroom is the user. Our experiments revealed design features that reduce the global orchestration load. According to our studies in vocational schools, paper-based interfaces hav ...
