| Abstract: | This paper explores the use of a shared tablet within the context of collaborative learning among a teacher and upper-secondary students (aged 16-17). We analyse how various resources are mobilised for joint meaning making. Drawing on video-recorded episodes, this qualitative case study shows how human and digital resources emerge when students collaboratively make meaning of body-related concepts using a shared tablet and how these resources support learning. The findings identify seven types of resources that were used when making meaning of body concepts while interacting with an application related to muscles and kinesiology. These resources include: 3D visualisations, students' prior knowledge, personal narratives, instructional video, the app's side menu, tactile functionalities and bodily representations. This paper offers insights for designing collaborative learning instructions involving tablets to support the co-creation of meaning in small groups. |
