Paper-Centric Structuring in Learning Processes

Structuring constitutes an important means for enhancing individual and collaborative learning processes. This paper introduces two new concepts for augmented semantic structuring of paper-based learning processes. Digital paper bookmarks can be used for individually structuring, indexing and tagging learning documents. The learner cube provides a new structuring method for collaborative face-to-face learning meetings. Both concepts rely on the Anoto technology, permitting to track and digitalize the paper-based learning process. A first pilot study indicates that digital paper bookmarks and tangible interaction are promising tools for structuring learning processes.
