Abstract
Many ICT technologies have been used to develop systems to
support collaborative learning. These systems are mainly developed to support
interaction between users when they collaborate with each other to learn
knowledge and solve a problem. However, there are many situations for
collaborative learning in which geographically distributed participants play
distinct roles and work together to produce or manipulate physical objects. For
example, a teacher in a major city teaches a disabled child at a remote area; a
remote tutor provides a tutoring service to a local student at home to finish an
art or handcraft assignment; or more often, a teacher guides a class of students
online through a series of activities in which physical objects are involved such
as drawing a picture using different pens. In these scenarios, traditional learning
systems may be limited since students not only need to see and hear their
teacher, but also need to interact with their teacher to use or manipulate
physical objects. In this paper, we introduce a novel system platform called RE-Tutor
that is proposed to support this category of collaborative learning
scenarios. In this system, while physically distributed, a teacher is enabled to
talk to his students, see what the students are working on, and provide guidance
information using hand gestures or annotations which are often needed for
physical tasks.
