Prototype of an E-learning System to Learn Motor Skills for a Traditional Japanese Wood-Processing
Abstract: A prototype of an e-learning system was developed to learn planing motion for a traditional Japanese wood-processing skill Smartphones were used as familiar devices to sense a learner's planing motion Additionally, Moodle was used as LMS (Learning Management System) to manage learning Study 1 involved the development and evaluation of a smartphone application that sensed the motion of learners and provided feedback to learners Study 2 involved developing a plug-in to learn motor skills with e-learning and manage learning history with Moodle The results indicated that sensing and providing feedback using smartphones constitute effective mechanisms for acquiring motor skills The findings of the study indicate that it is possible to manage the learning history of a planing motion with Moodle
