A literature review Koenraad (2008)

• More chances for interaction, collaboration and

discussion, particularly in comparison with other

ICT-use.

• Attention focus (cinema-effect) enhances

motivation, also because of improved lesson

pace….

• - and this better pace offers more opportunities

for repetition, more detailed explanation & test

preparation.

•  pupils can cope with more complex concepts by

actually handling related objects

• Handling + concurrent thinking aloud supports

verbalising thinking and insight development

• increased chances for learning style matches

thanks to multi-modal and haptic affordances
