Abstract
Compared to typing, ink can be more expressive of important ideas. Hand-drawn sketch is likely more expressive of the key concepts one wishes to communicate than a neat, chiseled presentation would have been [1]. The aim of this study is to deploy computer supported collaborative learning scenario by means of using Tablet PC with Group Scribbles (GS), a collection of software designed to facilitate students engaging in collaborative learning in English vocabulary activities. The outcomes after the completion of learning activities showed this Tablet PC enhanced instructional design indeed arouses students' motivations and improves students' mutual interactions.
