Using Clickers with Video Recording for Presentation Skill Training

Abstract

In this paper, the authors propose an ICT (Information Communication Technology) system with an educational program for learners to improve presentation skills. The authors also attempt to investigate the effectiveness of our system and educational program. Our system collects data which is for improving presentation by using video camera and response analyzers. In addition, the system enables students to share those data with BBS (Bulletin Board System) on Web. Moreover an educational program helps users improve their presentation skills as effectively as possible. The authors did experiments to investigate about what functions of our system are useful for presentation improvement, and what skills are easily improved by using our system. In the experiment, the authors prepared two groups which consisted of using our system and not using it. The result shows that our system effectively helps students improve their presentations. Especially, the students noticed the improvement points about their speaking manners and their visual slide design.
