Abstract
Digital ink affords numerous opportunities to broaden the use of computer supported learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. This review of the recent literature on digital ink tools demonstrates that they offer significant potential, and although there are relatively few studies on intelligent digital ink tools, it is notable that they span the STEM disciplines. In this review, we identify the major challenges for applications of digital ink in STEM education, and discuss the primary areas of use, feedback mechanisms and interaction methods.
