“…Most of the work on fantasy play in the HCI literature has explicitly concentrated on story telling [3,4,18]. StoryMat [4], for example, is an interactive mat composed of a set of technology augmented physical toys designed to support collaborative storytelling.…”

“…SAM [18] is an embodied conversational agent engaging children in collaborative storytelling using both physical and virtual objects. StoryTable [3] is a tabletop application requiring users to select information carried on virtual ladybirds to create a coherent story. User evaluation of all these devices revealed the value of technology to support explicit story telling, but it offered little information on children's spontaneous fantasy play with virtual objects.…”

We explore the possibility of creating an interactive system which can foster fantasy play in preschool children in a tabletop environment. This paper reports our experiences designing and testing two prototypes with young children aged 3-4 years old. In the first study, we focused on understanding the similarities and differences between the type of play afforded by real objects and virtual objects. In the second study, we focused on testing solutions for the interaction difficulties evinced in the first study to see how to provide an engaging experience for children. Data were collected by observing children while they played with the study materials. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used for data collection and analysis.

“…Cooperative storytelling can "increase the level of engagement of less motivated children without affecting the involvement of the more active ones" [4]. In order to involve all students as much as possible, the FAIRYTALE BOX facilitates a smooth turn-taking in using the IWB by splitting the writing activities into different phases, that can be easily assigned to different groups of pupils.…”

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 WhiteBoards emphasizes issues largely neglected in these kinds of applications.

“…The StoryTable (Cappelletti et al, 2004) enforces cooperative storytelling in child pairs by requiring users to touch in order to perform certain actions, such as selecting backgrounds and listening to audio. This seemed to increase levels of engagement but it was still possible for one user to dominate.…”

Multi-user interfaces are said to provide 'natural' interaction in supporting collaboration, compared to individual and non-co-located technologies. We identify 3 mechanisms accounting for the success of such interfaces: high awareness of others' actions and intentions, high control over the interface and high availability of background information. We challenge the idea that interaction over such interfaces is necessarily 'natural' and argue that everyday interaction involves constraints on awareness, control and availability. These constraints help people interact more smoothly. We draw from social developmental psychology to characterize the design of multi-user interfaces in terms of how constraints on these mechanisms can be best used to promote collaboration. We use this framework of mechanisms and constraints to explain the successes and failures of existing designs, then apply it to three case studies of design, and finally derive from them a set of questions to consider when designing and analysing multi-user interfaces for collaboration.
