ABSTRACT
Experimentation has shown that in-class educational technologies,
by permitting anonymous, authored participation, can dramatically
alter student communications in the classroom. Now, the appear-
ance of dual pen-and-keyboard computing devices in the univer-
sity classroom, notably Tablet PCs, motivates thinking critically
about how different expressive modalities could improve in-class
student problem solving and communication.
