Exploring Collaboration in Programming Activities with Children with Visual Impairments: a 10-Session Study in a School Setting

Introductory coding environments have been used in early education to promote computational thinking, supporting the development of cognitive, critical, and social skills. Many environments focus on individual use, which has limited benefits compared to collaborative learning. In this paper, we present the results of…

Awareness in Collaborative Mixed-Visual Ability Tangible Programming Activities

In the context of computational thinking tasks, which often require problem-solving and critical thinking skills, awareness of a partner’s actions can play a significant role in fostering a balanced collaboration. Understanding how awareness influences mixed- visual ability group collaboration in a tangible environme…

Conveying Emotions through Shape-changing to Children with and without Visual Impairment

Shape-changing skin is an exciting modality due to its accessible and engaging nature. Its softness and flexibility make it adaptable to different interactive devices that children with and without visual impairments can share. Although their potential as an emotionally expressive medium has been shown for sighted adu…

"I'm not touching you. It's the robot! ": Inclusion through a Touch-based Robot among Mixed-Visual Ability Children

Children with visual impairments often struggle to fully participate in group activities due to limited access to visual cues. They have difficulty perceiving what is happening, when, and how to act—leading to children with and without visual impairments being frustrated with the group activity, reducing mutual intera…

"The Robot Made Us Hear Each Other": Fostering Inclusive Conversations among Mixed-Visual Ability Children

Inclusion is key in group work and collaborative learning. We developed a mediator robot to support and promote inclusion in group conversations, particularly in groups composed of children with and without visual impairment. We investigate the effect of two mediation strategies on group dynamics, inclusion, and perce…

Coding Together: On Co-located and Remote Collaboration between Children with Mixed-Visual Abilities

Collaborative coding environments foster learning, social skills, computational thinking training, and supportive relationships. In the context of inclusive education, these environments have the potential to promote inclusive learning activities for children with mixed-visual abilities. However, there is limited rese…
