Interact! An Evidence-Based Framework For Digitally Supported School Field Trips

Interact! is an evidence-based framework for the support of school class visits to science exhibitions featuring a large vertical multi-touch surface and a set of tablet computers. The overall framework is designed to foster interest in computer sciences and collaborative learning of selected topics by drawing upon subject areas of personal importance and encouraging small group knowledge processes. Interact! was implemented as a prototype and tested in a field experiment with 53 pupils.
