LeSigLa_EC: Learning sign language of Ecuador

Abstract

The Technology in Information and Communication have allowed the exploration of new techniques in teaching, the development of computerized tools that improve the user learning experiences. Hearing-impaired people communicate using sign language, this tool represents the letters of the alphabet in a gestural way, which is the basis of their communication. In Ecuador, there is a deficit of teachers in schools for deaf people; for this reason, we propose a computer program to teach ecuadorian sign language using a gesture sensor as an input device and output on a monitor, allowing students to improve their learning experience.
