Collaborative Learning attracts attention as a new teaching method for its effectiveness of acquiring various skills. Recognizing the limit of current design of personal computer (PC) for collaborative learning in face-to-face environment, the authors have proposed a computer system called Socialized Computer (SC) that allows multiple users access to the computer with multiple mice and keyboards, and share information on a single large display. The authors take quiz as learning material, and are developing multiple user quiz system named MultiMouseQuiz (MMQ) for collaborative learning along the concept of SC. This paper reports a prototype system of MMQ and preliminary experiment carried out at Kyoto University Museum using the prototype. Design issues of MMQ is addressed based on the findings obtained in the experiment.
