Title

Symphony: A Case Study in Extending Learner-Centered Design Through Process Space Analysis

Abstract/Description

We are exploring a new class of tools for learners: scaffolded integrated tool environments (or SITES), which address the needs of learners trying to engage in new, complex work processes. A crucial phase within a learner-centered design approach for SITE design involves analyzing the work process to identify areas where learners need support to engage in the process. Here we discuss the design of Symphony, a SITE for high-school science students. Specifically, we discuss how the process-space model helped us analyze the science inquiry process to help us identify a detailed set of learner needs, leading to a full set of process scaffolding strategies for Symphony.
