Abstract
While digital tools are more and more used in classrooms, teachers’ common practice remain to use photocopied documents to share and collect learning exercises from their students. With TIP (Tangible e-Ink Paper) we aim to explore the use of tangible manipulatives to interact with paper sheets and bridge between digital and paper traces of learning tasks. Featuring an e-Ink display, a paper-based localisation system and a wireless connection, TIPs is envisioned to be used as a versatile tool across various curriculum activities. In this paper, we present the design principle of TIPs and a first functional prototype. We conclude by future work in evaluating TIPs as a distributed sensor for teacher in their classroom, including learning scenario examples to illustrate our statements.
