Kinect-based framework for enhanced learning of disabled students

Educating students with disabilities is different from those without disabilities. Students with disabilities would require modifications and different methods of teaching thin the traditional method. Current learning methods in Malaysia make use of the traditional pencil-and-paper method, which is a hassle. Furthermore, the different styles of learning are often neglected. Although there are attempts to use other learning tools to assist these students, they are often costly. This paper proposes an alternative learning method via Microsoft Kinect. An overview of the research framework and proposed system will be detailed. The expected main outcome from this project is the design of the proposed cost effective framework using Kinect. The framework would include new alternative method of delivering subjects to physically disabled students rather than the current method. The proposed framework also contributes to the motivation factors that drive the students to perform, and the suitability of multiple learning styles utilizing the same classroom tool.
