Prototypical development of awareness promoting learning support system of basic presentation

Presentation skill is essential both for academic and business purposes, but its training, particularly in Asian countries, still heavily depends on experiences. This paper reconsiders presentation skill and discusses system requirements of a presentation learning support system, which is based on our prototypical multimedia learner corpus of basic presentation. Then we developed a prototype of comprehensive learning support system of basic presentation with an emphasis on learners' self-awareness promotion. It consists of several modules including digital contents of preliminary tutorials, an interactive aide for organizing a presentation and its corresponding slides, semi-automatic evaluation estimation, and a online review of recorded presentations. Our system is still in its infancy, but its effectiveness is confirmed by a questionnaire survey.
