Next, the scaffolder provides feedback and suggestions to the student in order to synchronize the student with the model. These two synchronization processes happen in parallel and support each other. The student is synchronized when he is requesting help, that is, although the process model is normative, the student is not required to follow it. The student gives feedback to the scaffolder through the use of tools and through checklists that the system provides. This information will also be of use for the teacher to evaluate the student's performance.
Scaffolding is done using a simple diagram making explicit to the students the design process.
Clicking on one of the activity boxes lead the student to a screen telling them more about a certain activity. The computers were all networked and connected to a local server so that they could. Several sessions over a couple of weeks were held. The results were mixed. The students were able to use the interface with minimal training and they were able to navigate through the different workspaces without too many problems.
