Shall we learn together in loud spaces? Towards understanding the effects of sound in collaborative learning environments

Abstract

In this paper we question the role of environmental sound on the process of CL. The first pilot study is presented where we investigated effects of environmental sound on EDA and voice VA of the participants. The created visualization presents the dependence between mentioned parameters and serves as an awareness tool for participants in CL. Preliminary results are provocative; there seems to be mentioned dependences and participants accept the proposed visualization as a useful tool to support self-regulation during CL.
