  • Abstract
    The main goal of our project is stimulating, by means of technology-enhanced tools, students´ engagement and participation in the educational process. We exploit the affordances of large multi-touch displays in everyday classroom activities to allow new cooperative learning opportunities for students. Our preliminary work in designing for Interactive White Boards emphasizes issues largely neglected in these kinds of applications.
