Moving on from SynergyNet
After more than four years the SynergyNet project has come to an end. We’ve learned a huge amount about how learners use multi-touch tables, and about building a multi-touch enabled classroom – thank you to all those who participated in our studies!
We will continue to publish work from this study over the coming months – and will continue to update the publications page.
The work will continue in a number of directions:
- Liz Burd and Shamus Smith are taking the classroom to The University of Newcastle in Australia, where they will continue to explore questions related to multi-touch technology.
- Emma Mercier will be building a new lab classroom at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, continuing to investigate the role of technology in the collaborative classroom.
- Steve Higgins and Andrew Joyce-Gibbons remain at Durham University, where they will continue to research questions about classroom pedagogy and technology.
- James McNaughton also remains at Durham University, having moved to the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring.
