Kittasil Silanon · International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering & Assistive Technology · 2016
In this paper, we describe our finger-spelling computer-assisted instruction tool which is available to help persons; especially hearing and speaking impaired children whom are studying in primary school. The problem of inexperienced in finger-spelling skill are lacking of expert for monitoring and of self-learning tool. Thus, the use of computer-assisted instruction technology to enhance learning is an effective approach for the children. We will focus specifically on Thai finger-spelling which includes 42 letters and 24 vowels/tone marks. Most of children thought finger-spelling were the toughest part of learning sign language. Therefore, our computer-assistive instruction tool is designed both as an instructional material presented by computer system and as a practical game interface which help them to improve working memory and to read finger-spelling skills while they use this assistive tool.
