Abstract

Students’ participation in traditional classroom settings may be hindered due to various reasons, which interrupt the class flow or cause distraction among the rest of the class members. To tackle that problem, we propose using applications based on touchless hand gestures (THG) that would allow students to interact from their own places. The feasibility of this proposal is analyzed in this work. To do it, we requested students to use two applications from their physical locations. Obtained qualitative results suggest the proposal may be used in an acceptable way as the use of applications based on THG becomes widespread. Actually, students who participated recommend the use of this proposal, since they may be more motivated to participate actively in the development of classes, which would result in better teaching-learning processes.
