MIC, an interactive sign language teaching system

We have developed a sign language teaching system that uses sign language recognition and generation methods to overcome three problems with current learning materials: a lack of information about non-manual gestures (facial expressions, glances, head movements, etc.), display of gestures from only one or two points of view, and a lack of feedback about the correctness of the learner’s gestures. Experimental evaluation by 24 non-hearing-impaired people demonstrated that the system is effective for learning sign language.

ABSTRACT Objective: to characterize the Brazilian Sign Language teaching in undergraduate nursing courses. Method: a cross-sectional study, carried out on the curriculum matrices of 553 higher education nursing courses. Data collection took place through access to the websites of the Ministry of Education and educational institutions. Results: the nursing courses that offered Libras were located predominantly in the Southeast (36%), coming from private institutions (87.2%). Most Libras courses (82%) were offered on a mandatory basis in the second half of the course (46.7%). The semester in which the offer was most frequent was the eighth (15.9%). There was an association (p <0.001) between the offer of course and the variable “public or private category”. Conclusions: there was a predominance of Libras course in private institutions, in the Southeast region, with a 40-hour workload, offered in the second half of the course.
