“…The basic building blocks of any e-learning experience are learning objects , i.e., the digital files that generate e-learning activities [ 4 , 5 ]. Learning objects come in a variety of digital formats, including e-books, 2D and 3D animations, videos, quizzes, lecture notes and presentation slides, as well as (web) applications for simulation [ 6 ].…”

In gesture-aided learning (GAL), learners perform specific body gestures while rehearsing the associated learning content. Although this form of embodiment has been shown to benefit learning outcomes, it has not yet been incorporated into e-learning. This work presents a generic system design for an online GAL platform. It is comprised of five modules for planning, administering, and monitoring remote GAL lessons. To validate the proposed design, a reference implementation for word learning was demonstrated in a field test. 19 participants independently took a predefined online GAL lesson and rated their experience on the System Usability Scale and a supplemental questionnaire. To monitor the correct gesture execution, the reference implementation recorded the participants’ webcam feeds and uploaded them to the instructor for review. The results from the field test show that the reference implementation is capable of delivering an e-learning experience with GAL elements. Designers of e-learning platforms may use the proposed design to include GAL in their applications. Beyond its original purpose in education, the platform is also useful to collect and annotate gesture data.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide readers with an overview of a case of the innovative and successful use of digital resources for open distance online learning, or e-learning. To further summarize the content of the chapter, background is offered in a literature study, including related definitions, on the extent to which the application of quality evaluation tools for learning objects were adequate and appropriate for engineering tuition. The main focus of the chapter is on presenting the authors' perspectives on the issues, challenges, problems, etc., as these relate to the themes and arguments supporting their position. The next section of the chapter discusses how this research will lead to the development of solutions and recommendations that will deal with the issues or problems presented. Emerging trends and future research directions are discussed before a discussion of the overall coverage of the chapter and concluding remarks are provided.
