The Research Diary: Documenting and Publishing Classrooms’ Activities

Abstract

As design researchers using a methodology through design practice, we have been designing and evaluating an artifact for pedagogy through research, for pupils in primary schools. This opensource tool has been made to document and publish pupils’ productions during learning activities. In this paper, we present our artifact as well as the context in which we implemented it. Through this research, we intend to question the double act of documenting and publishing and the role it can play to create intentional learning environments. We introduce here our methods, our first results and our research agenda.
