Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to explore how university undergraduate students learn chemistry concepts using the Microsoft Surface Device and digital pen. Data were collected from lesson observations and interviews with tutors and students. The interviews explored the ways in which the participants used the digital pen device and the Surface Device in their teaching and learning of chemistry at the three levels of representation, and lesson observations were carried out to gain an in-depth understanding of the actual use of the Surface device and digital pen. Several key findings of this study are reported. It was found that the use of the device and digital pen was contextualized, dependent on individual differences, and that emerging learning was fostered. Benefits and implications of this study are also discussed in this report.
