Abstract

The important roles of after school care programs are protecting the lives of students whose parents are working or unable to be at home after they finish school or on school holidays and helping them create self independence. We propose a learning support system for helping after school care students. The system is used for practicing the “Kuku” multiplication table and it has been implemented using the Kinect motion capture system to recognize “air characters” written by the body actions of learners. We conducted a trial to evaluate the proposed system by asking many students in after school care programs to participate and confirmed that this system was helpful for groups of students to learn. We explain here how we implemented the system, and report the results from the trial. We also suggest the future directions of the system.
