Augmented feedback to enhance motor and artistic learning during social distancing

社交距离导致了远程教学的无限期转变。这种转变在为表演艺术或康复等体育活动远程授课和提供反馈方面带来了尚未解决的挑战。数字技术可以促进或加强学习，但对远程运动技能教学知之甚少，因此迫切需要确定体育和艺术学科远程教学的最佳实践。在这个项目中吸取的经验教训将被转移到任何运动技能教学中，如康复训练或实用技能。我们将依托(a)伦敦玛丽女王大学的设施和专业知识，包括一个在线教学平台，心理学、舞蹈医学、物理治疗、认知和学习、人工智能和多媒体信号处理方面的专家，以及(b)与成熟的舞蹈合作伙伴（如英国国家芭蕾舞学校、拉班音乐学院、FloorBarreTM）和巴特健康NHS信托基金的合作。我们将验证不同的远程教学方法和工具对体育和艺术训练的效果，包括人工智能增强反馈。通过关注舞蹈的远程训练，我们不仅可以阐明特定的流行学科，还可以阐明广泛的特征的远程训练，包括身体技能（从灵活性，肌肉耐力和力量，关节活动范围），心理状态（心理健康，注意力，动机及其与此次大流行的关系），艺术发展（存在感，节奏，创造力）。人类专家评估将为计划教学提供即时结果，为机器学习提供训练数据，为行为跟踪提供个性化反馈。项目成果包括确定最佳做法和新工具，以减轻社会距离对身体、心理、艺术和认知结果的影响。这将适用于表演艺术家、受伤患者，并最终适用于普通公众。

Social distancing has produced an indefinite shift to remote teaching. This shift poses unaddressed challenges in delivering classes and providing feedback remotely for physical activities such as performing arts or rehabilitation. Digital technologies can facilitate or enhance learning but little is known about remote motor skills teaching, hence there is an urgent need to identify the best practices for remote teaching of physical and artistic disciplines. The lessons learnt in this project will be transferable to any motor skills teaching, such as rehabilitative exercise or practical skills. We will build on (a) Queen Mary University of London facilities and expertise including an online teaching platform, experts in psychology, dance medicine, physiotherapy, cognition and learning, artificial intelligence and multimedial signal processing, and (b) a collaboration with established dance partners (e.g. English National Ballet school, Laban Conservatory, FloorBarreTM) and Barts Health NHS Trust.We will validate the efficacy of different remote teaching methods and tools on physical and artistic training including artificial intelligence augmented feedback. By focusing on remote training for dance we will not only shed light not on a specific popular discipline but on the remote training of a broad range of traits that include physical skills (from flexibility, muscular endurance and power, joint range of motion), psychological state (mental health, concentration, motivation and their relation to this pandemic), artistic development (presence, rhythm, creativity). Human expert assessment will provide immediate results useful to plan teaching, training data for machine learning for behavioural tracking for personalised feedback. Project outcomes include best practice identification and new tools to mitigate social distancing effects on physical, psychological, artistic, and cognitive outcomes. This will be applicable to performing artists, patients with injury, and ultimately the general public.
