Abstract
Explanograms provide "a sketch or diagram that students can play" [10]. They are a directly recorded multi-media resource that can be viewed dynamically. Often they are used in teaching situations to provide animated explanations of concepts or processes. Explanograms were initially based upon proprietary paper and digital pen technology. The project outlined here augments that design by using a tablet PC as a mobile, general purpose capture platform which will interoperate with the existing server based system developed in Sweden. The design of this platform is intended to achieve both learning and research outcomes, in a research linked learning model for global software development. The project has completed an initial development phase during which a prototype has been built, and a consolidation, extension and evaluation phase is now underway. The origins and goals of the research, the methodology adopted, the design of the application and the challenges that the New Zealand based team have faced are presented.
