Abstract
In this research we developed a special needs education case database system to store and share the data of children's problem behavior. The system uses webcams to record children's problem behavior in the classroom. The main benefits of our system are as follows: (1) The webcam can store the video to a server from 20 seconds before the starting point when the teacher starts recording with a wireless mouse during the class. This makes it possible for a teacher to capture the children's problem behaviors that usually occur suddenly. (2) Teachers can clearly describe the children's problem behaviors in electronic educational records using the video recordings of the webcam even when the memory is unclear. (3) The system is designed for up to 4 webcams. This allows recording the children's problem behaviors from multiple perspectives. This also allows teachers to clearly describe in electronic educational records the problem behaviors, even the ones that are difficult to capture from single perspective. We have verified the effectiveness of this system through experiment and utilization in classroom trials.
