Development of a New Presentation Tool for Cognitive Enhancement by Controlling the Whole Writing Processes

Abstract

In this paper, we develop a new presentation tool which aims at learners’ promotion of recognition. We assume that showing writing processes has educational rich information. We believe this information includes educational factors which influence learners’ recognition of the provided learning contents. Animation functions of popular presentation tools are not enough to represent this information. The advantages of showing writing processes are: (1) learners can learn implicitly by watching and imitating how to write, and (2) learners can recognize connection of the elements composed in step by step. We have implemented functions with showing teachers' writing processes to introduce these advantages. Our presentation tool enables the lesson with a new type of presentation slides which introduces in these advantages.
