Haymay: non-collocated, synchronous collaboration using multi-touch technology to scaffold rich dialogic interaction teachers in different education systems

Joyce-Gibbons, A and Hobbs, J (2022) Haymay: non-collocated, synchronous collaboration using multi-touch technology to scaffold rich dialogic interaction teachers in different education systems. In: ICET 2022 64th World Assembly, 21 - 23 June, 2022, Bath Spa University, Bath, UK.

Abstract

Haymay is an app that supports collaboration within and between groups of learners working to solve the same problems in Mathematics, History and Logic. Firmly rooted in iterative design-based research, it focuses teachers and teacher educators on the pedagogic challenges of effective computer supported collaborative learning. There is considerable research to suggest that collaboration is an effective pedagogy for problem solving (e.g. Barron, 2000; Howe & Davenport, 1999), learning new skills (Azmitia, 1988) and conceptual development (e.g. Howe, et al., 1995). Haymay is an innovative app that enables collaboration within and between groups working on all-in-one touchscreen computers. Participants work with partners using the same screen. They simultaneously work with partners in another location (anywhere in the world), sharing information using a single ‘flick’ gesture (Beauchamp, Joyce-Gibbons, et al., 2019; McNaughton, Crick, et al., 2017). This workshop will give attendees the chance to explore the possibilities and pedagogic interactions that Haymay provides. Discussion will be focused on issues including: i) fostering dialogic interaction; ii) intercultural teacher education using Haymay; iii) developing professional learning networks supported by Haymay, and; iv) Successful pedagogies for supporting collaboration.
