Design And Development Of Courseware Based On Multi-touch Technology

Multi-touch technology allows multiple users or multiple fingerssimultaneously, gesture-based input changed clicking with the mouse andkeyboard in the past for human-computer interaction. Whiteboard、tabletPCs、mobile phones and other related equipment with multi-touch technologygradually enter the field of education. Characteristics of multi-touchgestures with natural and direct interaction, which is a key element touse multi-touch technology. Multi-touch gestures can realize the functionthat most keyboard and mouse can not be achieved, New modes of interactionbrought new impetus to education, which improves the students interestsin learning. Multi-touch technology provides a new interactive way forcollaborative learning. Incorporate the design of new divices and developthe resources about teaching and learning is one of the problem about newtechnologies transforming education. The traditional computer coursewareuse the mouse and keyboard to operate, and this courseware is developedby multi-touch technology as the foundation, students operate mainly byhand. This study will base on multi-touch technology to design and developcourseware about the section of "the graph transformation" in the fifthgrade primary school s Math book as an example. and throughquestionnaires and interviews to understand the using effect of multi-touch software, the main results are as follows:1．Through literature to study and analyzes the theoretical foundationand characteristics of multi-touch technology, sums up the design principleof development courseware which is based on multi-touchtechnology,according the demand analysis and the characteristics of thefifth grade s students,to design the multi-touch courseware about thelearning content of "graphics" section. Analysis the advantages of flashCS6, ActionScrpit3.0, Android system in the development of technology,analysis the key technology of developing multi-touch courseware, finallydebugged and used in flat computer of Android system. Related multi-touch gestures is integrated into, the courseware realize many people to learnat the same time with collaborativing, and it is a new interactive learningtools for students and teachers.2．Based on the technology acceptance model (ATM) design questionnairesattitude and intention of students using the multi-touch courseware. Theresults of questionnaire show that students think multi-touch coursewareis stable in operation, and the interface is neat in appearance, designof the content is rich and complete. In the interactive aspect that studentsthink that using hand to operate the courseware more convenient tocommunicate and cooperate with other students. The students thinks thatthe using multi-touch software can improve the efficiency of their ownlearning in the perceived usefulness, and it is also easy and convenientto use. In the use of attitude and behavior intention of courseware,students is happy and like to use multi-touch courseware, and they arewilling to continue to use and recommend others to use.3．Through interviews further understands the effect of students andteachers using multi-touch courseware, both students and teachers thinkthat multi-touch software is easy to use, it is comfortable and naturalto operation and strong interaction, attracts the attention of students,effectively increase the motivation of learners, and achieved good effectin collaborative learning.4．Some characteristics and shortages of the research are summarizedaccording the process and conclusions of this study, and put forwardsuggestions for future research, provide reference for the teachers andresearchers who research the multi-touch technology.
