Abstract / Excerpt:

The growth of technology today has a great impact on the society and because of that, technology are always with everywhere. The internet is becoming the main medium of communication and entertainment for people. The internet is a good use for developing an online courseware that would help the deaf learners in the society especially in the Philippines and local areas. This study discusses the development of an online courseware that would be fitting with the deaf learners to text-based learning materials. It will also tackle some principles in HCI for it is a need for designing the courseware in order to formulate a study that would help the ongoing research on deaf people's learning pattern. Other related works with this proposed project will also be discussed in order to show some comparison between other systems or other application with it. The significance of this study is to create an online courseware for deaf learners in order to study their learning patterns gathered information will be used to help future researchers that are working on designing learning tools for deaf learners. The general focus of this study is to design a learning tool that would fit elementary deaf learners using English subject. The research started from prototyping, which planning and designing the blueprint for the overall research took place. . Pre-test and Post-test testing will be used to gather data for developing new Deaf HCI guidelines. Pre-test and Post-test data will be compared from each other to verify the newly developed Deaf HCI guidelines. The proponent's research found that there is a significant improvement in the children's test scores; indicating that deaf student's improved their learning by using the courseware. According to the data gathered in pre-test and post-test the proponents concluded that had easier time in interacting with the courseware during the post-test when the Deaf HCI guidelines were already applied. In conclusion, the research objectives were achieved and observations surest future works to try group learning to deaf students.
