BopoNoto: An Intelligent Sketch Education Application for Learning Zhuyin Phonetic Script

Abstract

Abstract-The zhuyin phonetic script not only provides greater learning benefits compared to romanization systems for Chinese Mandarin language students with existing English fluency, but also allows students to take advantage of its use in Taiwan where it exists in both official and popular usage. However, while penenabled computing educational applications can assist traditional pedagogical approaches for accelerating mastery of the script, existing approaches are either constrained in providing writing assessment, catered to native language users, or are less flexible in recognizing more natural writing. We present BopoNoto, an intelligent sketch education application for language students to learn zhuyin. Our application provides a sketching interface for practicing the symbols, and a sketch recognition system for assessing the visual and technical correctness of their input. From our evaluations, BopoNoto successfully demonstrates strong results in understanding and assessing students' written input.

Intelligent User Interfaces and Their Evaluation: A Systematic Mapping Study

“…SE and AI fields were joined in one category. The majority of the studies (58% or 123 studies) included aspects of both observed disciplines, i.e., proposed an IUI solution with an accompanying algorithm along with the user interface for the proposed solution [ 38 , 39 ].…”

Utilization of Artificial Intelligence in Education: A Perspective on Learning Strategies

“…However, the use of intelligent tutoring systems includes the integrated form of AI, so the spread of ITS in time will further disseminate these systems that are being used in education. These systems are used for adaptive feedback [23][24][25][26][27][28], presenting and recommending content [24,27,29,30].…”
