Smart Assistive 3D Tool to Remedy Children's Learning Difficulties for Distance Education

Abstract

COVID-19 has accelerated the shift away from the traditional classroom to online learning around the globe. Despite its advantages, students could not easily adapt to the challenges of transition overnight. To remedy academic difficulties that arise with online education, this paper introduces an assistive 3D educational tool for slow learners in elementary school, mainly for Arabic, English, and Math subjects. The proposed tool can be fully integrated with remedial programs to help students who could not adapt to distance learning during the pandemic, slow learners, or even students who cannot attain school. This tool automatically adapts to students' weaknesses and classifies students based on academic performance rather than age. Furthermore, it provides an easy-to-use interface for teachers to customize it using their own content and game scenarios.
