Research findings
interactive technologies, interactive whiteboard
•transformative potential of technologies
•integration into existing teaching practice
Avvisati et al., 2013; Lee, 2013
Pre-project studies
• IWB in state school settings (France, Germany)
• IWB use dependent on level of teacher development
•Cutrim Schmid & Whyte, 2012
• IWB for VC in primary EFL
• little unplanned, independent interaction
•Whyte, 2011
critics of the IWB have pointed out that one of its drawbacks is the fact that it can be easily assimilated into teachers’ traditional pedagogical practice, thus leading to patterns of technology use that simply replicate previous practice
changes in pedagogical practice cannot be imposed hegemonically from above, via isolated training sessions and in the absence of ongoing support in the classroom
[In a collaborative action research] framework, teachers are supported by researchers in a process of structured reflection involving data collection and analysis with the goals of better understanding teaching and learning in their classrooms and applying this knowledge to improve teaching efficacy and student learningCutrim Schmid & Whyte, 2012

only native software

planned learner manipulation of objects (drag and drop)
some other software
initiateplanned learner use of more IWB tools
use of more programmes (internet)

spontaneous learner use of IWB features and peripherals (slates)
use of audio and video files
ICT/IWB self-efficacy: questionnaire data
how much can you do to exploit ICT for teaching?
how much can you do to exploit the IWB for language teaching?
how confident do you feel with various IWB tools and features?
how much do you believe the IWB can help in language teaching?
teachers showed high self-efficacy perceptions for ICT, lower confidence with IWB tools, but encouraged learners to use the IWBHillier, Beauchamp, Whyte (2013)
primary teachers used narrow range of basic tools for circumscribed goals, irrespective of IWB experience Whyte, Beauchamp, Hillier (2012)
wide variety of IWB use Whyte et al (2013)
French EFL teachers showed differential development readiness based on IWB self-efficacy and engagement Whyte & Alexander (2013)

planning/control context task
drillpre-planned language elements
limited attempt to contextualise language
production & repetition with teacher feedback on form
display
some learner choice in language to be produced
limited attempt to contextualise language
activity largely controlled by teacher
simulationgreater space for learner choice
role-play: pretend context
space for learner choice in shaping activity
communication
spontaneous language production
genuine exchange of participants’ own reactions
learner-centred, meaning-focused activity

Rationale
(Kennewell, 2006; Higgins et al., 2007; Koenraad, 2008; Thomas & Cutrim Schmid, 2010)
Limited uptake in specific subject areas
and educational sectors
Teacher skills key in realising added value

Needs Analysis: Recommendations• Modules basic IWB functionalities + for ordering,
structuring, comparing etc.
• Design materials as modular as possible
• Demo IWB potential for a variety of disciplines
• Include IWB page navigation, assessing, adapting and designing materials
• (revision of) general pedagogical topics like ‘active learning’ and general materials design principles.
• Foster added value discussion
