| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In Japanese higher education, hard-of-hearing students are provided with note-taking support. Usually, two note-takers are assigned to sit together with a hard-of-hearing student. The eyes of the assisted student are often focused on their notes and tend to miss the subtle facial expressions of the teacher as well as any visual aids that may be projected on the classroom screen. These classroom conditions may decrease the sense of involvement or participation in the class. To address these issues, we developed a handwritten note-taking system by utilizing digital pen.
In our ongoing efforts to develop a note-taking system to help hard-of-hearing students participate in lectures, we have proposed such a system and tested its applicability within actual class situations. We found that our system is indeed effective within such classroom environments and that both assisted students and note-taking assistants are eagerly looking forward to the time when the system is put into common use.
