Collaborative Sketch Tools for Engineering Problem Solving (C-STEPS)

Project Overview

NSF Funded – Grant Number: IIC 1441149

This NSF funded exploratory project seeks to design and study tools to support communication and collaboration around sketching and technical drawing on interactive surfaces. My goal is to integrate these tools to support instructional reform efforts in courses that are seeking to use more collaborative learning and to observe how students’ conceptual understanding is revealed as they engage in collaborative sketching.
