Commencement of Regular Weekly In-class Experiments in Trnjanska Primary School EXPIRED

In early March 2016, the project team began conducting regular weekly in-class experiments. The experiments will last until the end of the school year, during which a number of digital lessons will be developed and tested, together with several different approaches to collaboration and a variety of additional modules for our inForm platform, such as the AR module and digital lesson Widgets. The experiments include students in the first, second and third grade.

First SCOLLAm Augmented Reality Learning Experiences experiments held EXPIRED

On Thursday and Friday, 10 and 11 March 2016, the first experiments testing the SCOLLAm Augmented Reality (AR) Learning Experiences (ARLEs) were held. First and second grade pupils at Primary School Trnjanska therefore had opportunity to test their math skills throuh the AR.math ARLE which asks pupils to find a solution to a math problem (addition, subtraction or multiplication of two numbers) by "scanning" with their tablets the correct answer given on a paper marker. The problems were designed seperately for the first and second grade in line with the curriculum and their progess at the time of the experiments.

Apps for Learning Through Collaboration for Tablet Computers Developed EXPIRED

As part of the SCOLLAm project two widgets for learning mathematics through collaboration on tablet-computers were developed. The widgets are used in the Author system as parts of existing and new digital lessons to enable collaborative learning. The first widget supports learning mathematics in pairs with students taking up editor and checkers roles, while the other widget allows for learning in triplets via the author, editor and checker roles.

The First Round of Experiments on Collaborative Learning on Tablets EXPIRED

In the Trnjanska experimental primary school the first round of experiments on computer supported mobile collaborative learning (mCSCL) was conducted. Between December 2016 and February 2017 the students used software developed in the SCOLLAm project to solve mathematical problems (addition and subtraction) for 1st and 2nd grades of primary school. Tablets scaffolded face-to-face discussions about possible solutions and helped students to agree on correct solutions.
