Abstract: Even though interactive whiteboards have been widely
used in classrooms around the world, very little work
explores its capabilities for collaborative activities. This
paper describes a case study in which we explored how
beginners in Electronics collaborate in order to build logic
circuits with our software using an interactive whiteboard
as a collaboration platform. Findings of this work point out
that interactive whiteboards have demonstrated to be more
suitable for collaborative activities than a conventional
desktop PC, since they make it possible for students to take
turns when interacting with the software. However, this
does not always happen and the technology we explored
raised issues involving single touch limitations and
projection occlusion.
