Bridging multiple motor-skills in a community site

Abstract

This paper touches upon the design issue for multiple skill development of human beings in an online community environment. It focuses on motor skills such as rope-skipping, running, swimming and so forth in the physical world. The approach attempts to adopt social networking service for mutual contribution on that purpose as the base of online communication. In order to treat various sorts of skill, the web-based system allows community authors to handle several types of media for storing records of skill training of individuals and representing them in the system. This study developed such an environment and made trial use for the first stage. © Springer-Verlag 2010.
