Abstract. We present an evaluation of an “in the wild” classroom deployment of Colocated
Collaborative Writing (CCW), an application for digital tabletops. CCW was
adapted to the classroom setting across 8 SMART tables. Here, we describe the
outcomes of the 6 week deployment with students aged 13-14, focussing on how
CCW operated as a tool for learning within a classroom environment. We analyse
video data and interaction logs to provide a group specific analysis in the classroom
context. Using the group as the unit of analysis allows detailed tracking of the group’s
development over time as part of scheme of work planned by a teacher for the
classroom. Through successful integration of multiple tabletops into the classroom,
we show how the design of CCW supports students in learning how to collaboratively
plan a piece of persuasive writing, and allows teachers to monitor progress and
process of students. The study shows how the nature and quality of collaborative
interactions changed over time, with decision points bringing students together to
collaborate, and how the role of CCW matured from a scaffolding mechanism for
planning, to a tool for implementing planning. The study also showed how the
teacher’s relationship with CCW changed, due to the designed visibility of groups’
activities, and how lesson plans became more integrated utilizing the flexibility of the
technology. These are key aspects that can enhance the adoption of such technologies
by both students and teachers in the classroom
