IWB Research

I'm using this post as a bit of a brain-dump to collate some research articles. I haven't read any of them yet, but am linking them here to remind me to start going through them.

Articles taken from here and here. Others are included on this list that I haven't linked to, but may be useful. When I get round to it, I'll try and draw some of these together.

Next Generation Interfaces

Becta have just released the latest edition of their report into Emerging technologies for learning.

'Emerging technologies for learning' aims to help readers consider how emerging technologies may impact on education in the medium term. The publications are not intended to be a comprehensive review of educational technologies, but offer some highlights across the broad spectrum of developments and trends.

It should open readers up to some of the possibilities that are developing and the potential for technology to transform our ways of working, learning and interacting over the next three to five years.

You can access all the articles here, plus the previous editions.

One article of particular interest to this blog is the chapter entitled: Interactive displays and next generation interfaces by Michael Haller, Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences. This is an interesting look at the history of the Interactive Whiteboard as we know it, and a look at some of the new technologies that may well replace or enhance it in the near future such as Interactive Tables, Interactive Paper and Digital Pens.

IWB and Learning Research

Thanks to the NAACE mailing list yesterday I was made aware of some more research into IWB's being undertaken by Cambridgeshire County Council into the use of IWB's in the Primary Classroom.

Only the first phase has been carried out yet, looking at the patterns of interactions when the teacher is leading sections of the lesson using an IWB. There are lesson observations of Literacy, Numeracy and History lessons with reflection on each.

The study is not yet complete, there is a phase 2 yet to come, but it will be interesting to come back later and see what the finished study finds.

You can find the research here.
