Introduction

� Effective classroom management [1] is considered a keycriterion for turning formal learning spaces into effectivelearning environments. However, contemporary classroomorchestration [2] is arguably ad hoc and challenging,primarily due to its multi-faceted nature

� Working with Dillenbourg’s view of orchestration [3], wepropose/investigate streamlined technology-drivenorchestration through the use of an orchestration workbench

Orchestration Workbench

Scientific Goals

� Investigate the impact of an orchestration workbench onteaching and learning

� Devise a generic orchestration workbench framework forachieving streamlined technology-driven orchestration

� Demonstrate the successful use of streamlinedtechnology-driven orchestration
