The evaluation results show that when students working collaboratively with 2 types of shared displays (ITB and desktop computer), most of them will exhibit the off-task behaviors in which settings and also show their attitude and satisfaction after direct experiences while working collaboratively with both settings. Both results will show the effectiveness of ITB-based setting beyond computer-based setting. The outcome of this research study has showed the potential of ITB that might be a new affordable collaborative tool to support teaching and learning in academic activity. © 2011 Springer-Verlag. %L scholars1463 %J Communications in Computer and Information Science %O cited By 1; Conference of International Conference on Informatics Engineering and Information Science, ICIEIS 2011 ; Conference Date: 14 November 2011 Through 16 November 2011; Conference Code:87535 %R 10.1007/978-3-642-25483-3₂₉ %N PART 4 %D 2011
