PPD’11 Call for Papers Workshop on Coupled Multi-display Environments
(MDEs) in Classrooms (in conjunction with the British HCI 2011 conference)

Overview
The objective of this HCI 2011 workshop is to explore research
challenges and opportunities afforded by educational applications that
rely on multi-display interfaces. MDEs (Multi-display environments) have
great potential for educational scenarios because MDEs’ fragmented
nature corresponds to today’s learning paradigms, where the focus of
attention and interaction of learners and teachers must often shift from
the blackboard (or the digital whiteboard) to individual or group
activities. The design and evaluation of these systems involves
challenges such as the distribution of control and information over
personal and public displays, the flexibility of the software solutions
required to stimulate -rather than hinder- active learning, the
different ways in which MDEs adapt to different styles of learning, and
their evaluation and understanding of their impact.
This workshop follows on from the PPD’10 workshop at AVI 2010 on coupled
display visual interfaces and the AVI 2008 workshop on designing
multi-touch interaction techniques for coupled public and private displays.
The focus of this PPD’11 workshop, is on the Multi-Display Environment
challenges present in particular educational contexts, where many public
displays (such as SmartBoards) are already in use. If you would like to
participate in this workshop we ask you to submit a position paper.
Research or application position papers (2 pages max in the BCS format)
based on current or future research directions for MDEs in classrooms as
well as ideas which can lead to fruitful discussions are all relevant
and welcome. The workshop will be for a full day and structured to
provide maximum time for group discussion, brainstorming and research
discussion.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
* Developing evaluation strategies for MDEs in an educational setting
* Ethnography and user studies of MDEs relying on coupled displays
* Understanding the design space and identifying factors that
influence user interactions in this space
* The impact of social conventions on the design of suitable
interaction techniques for shared and private displays
* Exploring interaction techniques that facilitate multi-display
interfaces in education
* Novel interaction techniques for both private and public
multi-touch devices as part of multi-display environments
* Techniques for supporting student/teacher input re-direction and
distributing information between displays
* SDK/APIs and IDEs for the development of coupled display visual
interfaces
We invite contributions from researchers and practitioners working in
the area of multi-display environments in an educational context.
Interested attendees should submit a short two page position paper.
Based on a peer review of the position papers about 10 to 15
participants will be invited to attend the workshop.
