Proposal of a self-instructional training support system and examination of self-instructional text presentation interface using a speech bubble

Abstract

In this study, we propose an overall self-instructional training support system and tested the effectiveness of a self-instructional text presentation interface using a speech bubble. While the automated generation of self-instructional texts could make the training more accessible, previous research shows that if the texts are not self-created, the effectiveness of the training decreases. To overcome this, we design an interface that displays a real-time video of the user’s face with superimposed speech bubbles containing self-instructional text. Through online experiments, we demonstrated that the interface enhances users’ internalization of the generated text, potentially improving the effectiveness of computer-assisted self-instructional training.
