Developing shared understanding is essential to productive collaboration where a product is jointly constructed. This is especially true when the different collaborators' contributions need to build coherently on one another, as, for example, when ma...

Do Haptic Representations Help Complex Molecular Learning? (2011)
Journal Article
Bivall, P., Ainsworth, S., & Tibell, L. A. (2011). Do Haptic Representations Help Complex Molecular Learning?. Science Education, 95(4), 700-719. https://doi.org/10.1002/sce.20439

This study explored whether adding a haptic interface (that provides users with somatosensory information about virtual objects by force and tactile feedback) to a three-dimensional (3D) chemical model enhanced students' understanding of complex mole...
