Recently computers have proved to be great tools for different kinds of collaborative works. The biggest challenge of computer integrated learning has been used to support collaborative learning activities for students while they sit in front of computer screens. Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) technology enhances this challenge by providing a large workspace with multimedia resources. Therefore, this research aimed to compare the efficacy used of computer-based and interactive table-based in face-face collaborative learning environment. Interactive table was developed by using a low-cost interactive whiteboard technology. This paper examines how such this technology impacts student's interaction in collaborative activity comparing to computer-based learning. It also included the experiment of IR(infrared) devices(IR pen and IR fingertip) which use with interactive table. The findings show strength and weakness of both devices which will be beneficial for future interaction technique in IWB technology.
