诸如多触摸桌之类的互动技术使博物馆展览设计师可以通过广泛的资源（从多媒体到动态反馈再到其他访客的存在）来支持访客的学习。但是，设计师必须决定如何最好地将这些资源的负担能力与他们试图支持的学习活动保持一致[23]。这项工作研究了一个多点触摸桌展览，旨在支持一项活动，修补活动，该活动被确定为一种互动形式，可以为新手学习工程学提供特殊优势[例如4]。当学习者修补时，他或她将进行迭代调整的过程，以使用“及时”的资源和反馈来指导他们探索问题空间的下一步。这项工作中研究的展览提供了几种支持修补修补的资源，本文介绍了一个详细的案例，显示了这些不同的资源（某些技术，某些社会和某些社会技术）是如何或未被学习者使用的。我们确定的一个关键设计目标是，需要将访问者的默认工程实践转变为可见的工程表演，以便这些表演可以用作“文化工具” [35]，以调解其他访客的学习。
Interactive technologies like multi-touch tables enable museum exhibit designers to support visitors' learning with a wide range of resources (from multimedia to dynamic feedback to the presence of other visitors). Designers must decide, though, how best to align the affordances of these resources with the learning activities they are trying to support [23]. This work examines a multi-touch table exhibit designed to support an activity, tinkering, which has been identified as a form of interaction that may offer special benefits to novices learning about engineering [e.g., 4]. When a learner is tinkering, he or she is engaged in a process of iterative adjustment to a constructed artifact, making use of "just in time" resources and feedback to guide the next steps in their exploration of the problem space. The exhibit studied in this work provided several resources for supporting tinkering, and this paper presents a detailed case showing how these different resources (some technical, some social, and some sociotechnical) were or were not used by learners. A key design goal we identified was the need to transform the tacit engineering practices of visitors into visible engineering performances, such that those performances could serve as "cultural tools" [35] for mediating the learning of other visitors.
