Abstract

This paper describesa design-based implementation research (DBIR) project, focused on the co-design and implementation of an orchestration tool for teaching assistants (TAs) in required engineering classes. Building on our collaboration with the engineering department, we identified a need for a tool that provides insight into groups to help TAs intervene in real-time. This paper presents two phases of our iterative co-design process. The first phase includes the initial design of the tool from design workshops with TAs. The second phase focuses on a 16-week implementation of the orchestration tool and reports on interviews with TAs to understand how they used the tool. Findings indicate that the impact of the tool varies and that the uptake of the tool differs by TA. Finally, we reflect on the co-design process and discuss future directions for the creation of this technology.

协同设计的编排工具:支持工程教学助理，因为他们促进协作学习

本文描述了基于设计的实施研究(DBIR)项目，重点是为工程必修课程的助教(助教)共同设计和实施一个编排工具。在与工程部门合作的基础上，我们确定了对一种工具的需求，该工具可以提供对小组的洞察力，以帮助助教实时干预。本文介绍了迭代协同设计过程的两个阶段。第一阶段包括与技术人员一起进行设计研讨会的工具的初始设计。第二阶段的重点是为期16周的编制工具实现，并报告与技术人员的访谈，以了解他们如何使用该工具。研究结果表明，工具的影响各不相同，工具的吸收因TA而异。最后，我们对协同设计过程进行了反思，并讨论了该技术的未来发展方向。

期刊介绍： IxD&A (Interaction Design and Architecture (s)) Journal bases its existence on the following beliefs: - the complexity of today''s society requires the developments of new visions and new tools to address new systemic problems; - one needs at large to promote a deeper understanding of the interaction mechanisms, whatever the scale and the phenomena involved, from which originate the dynamic and static of the systems and all forms of architectures; - within complex systems, processes, architectures and cultural stratifications the focus should be always the individuals and their continuous co-evolution with the place that they populate; - the project and the ability to meta-design are central elements necessary to live consciously experiences, and above all those mediated by the machine. IxD&A aims to offer an interdisciplinary arena where everybody can present top level researches and discuss ideas on the future of technology mediated experiences in the field of communication, learning, working, entertainment, healthcare, etc...) a future that can be made possible by a joint effort in research and education. IxD&A, indeed, offers the ideal forum for meeting among frontier research, education, cutting edge technology development and application. Indeed, there will be no future if research and education will not be able to meet the world of production, or, in other words if we will not be able to transfer the ''lab'' into real life.
