 * Kershner, R., Mercer, N., Warwick, P., and Staarman, J. K. (2010). .  International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning v. 5 no. 4, p. 359-83 -  In a study focusing on student communication and thinking patterns collaborative groupwork, Kershner, et. al. found that interactive whiteboards can make a contribution to productive communications when supported with teacher scaffolding strategies. The interactive whiteboard was not seen as independently significant, but rather as a way the teacher could help to structure productive groupwork.
 * Lu, J., Lajoie, S., & Wiseman, J. (2010). .

The study found that experiences teachers changed their strategies for scaffolding the activity, thereby increasing their own time to interact with students and challenge them to higher levels.
 * Nebraska, J. W. .  Mathematics and Computer Education v. 44 no. 3, p. 276-8. - A review by a mathematics teacher of the capabilities of the Smart brand interactive whiteboard and his experiences learning to use it, which were generally positive.
