title = "The REACH System: Boundary Spanning's Support of Distributed Collaborative Making",
abstract = "Attempting the hands-on activities typical of makerspaces without in-person expert facilitation can lead to frustration and decreased engagement. This study aims to explore the collaboration affordances of REACH, a novel communication device that allows users to share gestures around a common artifact while in separate locations. Using a modified version of the divergent collaborative learning mechanisms framework (DCLM), this paper highlights the affordances of REACH to support students in collaboratively engaging in joint attention and boundary spanning perception and action, even when they are physically disparate.",
