Observation data from interactions of students using Digital Mysteries on a multi-pen tabletop

Observation methods provided the main source of data for the study which allowed us to view the processes involved in the students’ completion of the Digital Mysteries task through multiple lenses. For each of the sessions (n = 3) two video cameras captured the verbal and non-verbal communication in the environment from two different physical angles. Audio-recordings served as a detailed record of verbal communication which enhanced the production of multimodal transcriptions. As well as the audio and video streams, the digital tabletop recorded interaction logs of all activities taking place on the table consisting of individual and group contributions at each stage. When triangulated with interaction log data, the observation data provided us with a detailed view of the role and quality of the mediation of reasoning skills in the Computer Supported Collaborative Learning Environment.

本研究的数据主要来源于观察方法，这使我们得以从多个视角审视学生在完成数字之谜任务中所涉及的过程。在每一场会议（n=3）中，两台摄像机从两个不同的物理角度捕捉了环境中的言语和非言语交流。音频记录详尽地记录了言语交流，从而增强了多模态转录的生成。除了音频和视频流之外，数字桌面还记录了在桌面上发生的所有活动的交互日志，包括每个阶段的个人和群体贡献。当与交互日志数据相结合时，观察数据为我们提供了关于计算机辅助协作学习环境中推理技能调解角色与质量的详细视角。
