Abstract

This poster describes how a sociomaterial approach, Actor Network Theory (ANT), was used in an ethnographic case-study to investigate ongoing research and technology development practices at an interdisciplinary project between education and computer sciences. The study asked how a shared research question was being answered in practice when divergent research approaches were brought to bear upon it, and how an innovative piece of educational technology might emerge through the interdisciplinary R&D practices.
