Learning Application with the Multi-Touch Interactive Technology-A Study of Jigsaw Game

Multi-touch technology has become increasingly popular interactive technology of teaching content. The displays with multi-touch are responsive enough to support a wide variety of applications. In this study, we attempt to apply three different technologies of C#, Microsoft Surface and Windows Presentation Foundation developing an interactive jigsaw game. This game would design with the multi-touch interactive technology and adapt the scaffolding theory to construct three scaffolding levels based on the operated features of multi-touch interactive technology. The three levels are the progressive learning by the easy to the difficult. In addition, this study also proposed collaborative and competitive learning scenarios for the multi-touch jigsaw interactive game. The collaborative learning scenario allows two learners to help each other and to perform a jigsaw game at the time appointed. The competition learning scenario allows two learners to perform their own jigsaw game by themselves, enable learners to more easily and quickly learn and to get the knowledge in a jigsaw game.
