Technology mediated experiences are becoming more common and creating new ways for us to work and learn together when separated by distance. However, these remote environments lack many of the rich non-verbal cues that we take for granted in co-located interactions, such as information about where your partner is looking. In an effort to integrate important non-verbal cues into remote environments, this thesis focuses on designing eye tracking interventions to support and understand communication and interaction, called shared gaze visualizations. I discuss the design, development, and evaluation of systems that display where collaborators are looking in a shared work space. My evaluation of these systems leverages both qualitative and quantitative methods to understand communication processes and coordination behavior in remote collaboration, which inform the design of shared gaze visualizations for distance learning environments. This thesis extends the current body of literature by illustrating the importance of design and task requirements when integrating shared gaze visualizations in remote environments.
