Abstract

This paper presents a study that describes the design and implementation of a tabletop system for supporting collaborative design in the classroom. A case study and two experiments are presented in order to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed system for students and educators. Ten educators and fifteen students participated in the experiments. Findings show that the usefulness, as well as the easiness of the proposed system are perceived as good from both, students and educators. These results suggest that the proposed system does have potential to be used in other educational areas or as a baseline for similar approaches.
