信息技术具有改善老年人日常生活的巨大潜力，但他们缺乏技能，无法利用这些可能性。有技能的老年人可以有效地教导无技能的老年人，因为他们深刻理解他们这一代人的障碍和需求，但有技能的老年人很少。远程学习方法可能是一种解决办法，但他们对信息技术的不熟悉和对面对面学习的强烈偏好是一个挑战。为了使远程课程更接近于面对面的体验，我们开发了一个远程教育系统与实时手势可视化集成与多个音频和视频流之间的教师和学习者。在本文中，我们将介绍我们的远程课程系统和课程设计，然后报告的试验结果远程课程的方法。
Information technologies (IT) have great potential to improve the everyday lives of senior citizens, but their lack of skills prevents them from exploiting the possibilities. Skilled seniors can effectively teach unskilled seniors based on their deep understanding of the barriers and needs of their generation, but skilled seniors are scarce. Distant learning methods could be a solution, but their unfamiliarity with IT and strong preference for face-to-face learning are challenges. To make the distant course closer to the face-to-face experience, we developed a remote education system with real-time gesture visualization integrated with multiple audio and video streams between the teachers and learners. In this paper, we will introduce our remote course system and the course design, and then report results of the trial remote course approach.
