Note Taking and Sharing with Digital Pen and Paper.: Designing for Practice Based Teacher Education.

Abstract

This thesis is a continuation of my previous work `Supporting Notetaking with Digital Writing System: the case of teacher education . The main goal of this thesis is to design a customized digital pen and paper based note taking system for the practice based teacher education, PPE. This thesis work has further performed a literature review to state the pedagogical objectives of PPE. Literature review on state-of-the-art has also been carried out. Together, these researches have informed the development of deployment scenarios and requirements for the system design. The system design is based on the Logitech io2 system deployed in my previous work. The system design extends the original system with a specialized paper design and a functionality to invoke storing of notes to specified folders at note taking time. The system has been evaluated by both experts and users, and has received positive feedback from both groups. The feedback is presented in this thesis to inform possible further work with this system
