Abstract

The learning of Chinese is an abstract learning mode for primary school students. Correct writing stroke is an elementary but difficult task for most of students. This study tried to create a more efficient and interesting learning environment through human-computer interaction technology with mastery learning approach, and a self-pace learning mode to construct a learning system, where rich, efficient and effective interactions in learning were considered. The prototype was designed for tablets with human-computer interaction technology with the purpose to facilitate learning of a fundamental set of Chinese characters.
