Abstract

This paper presents an overview of a CSCL 2009 panel that brings together five researchers whose work attempts to leverage physical embodiment in the design of technologies to support learning. Through a critical examination of distinctive approaches - design rationales, design features, and learner outcomes - the panel seeks to spark discussion over the principles by which designs might be driven and the role of design instances in advancing our understanding of embodiment as a construct.
