Abstract
This paper presents a case study of a multidisciplinary team designing a virtual environment and instrument for young children’s science inquiry learning. The designers had the course of meetings to collaboratively develop a learning unit using CLOVES, a virtual world builder. The study showed the potential of CLOVES as a collaborative medium. The designers actively participated in decision-making at every stage of the design process and shared knowledge among one another, which helped the establishment of common ground.
