Abstract

This paper presents IWA, a platform to aid children when learning how to write. The proposed system offers both tutor and child a certain degree of autonomy. IWA provides tutor and child with different interfaces. The features available to the tutor allow the definition and configuration of repetition exercises comprising letters, numerals and freeform gestures. The child interface supports the child in the task of solving those exercises. The system has been evaluated in two sessions with children. From the evaluation results and the feedback provided by a school teacher we conclude this to be a very promising system towards optimizing the repetition process required for perfecting hand-writing. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
