The aim of this research project was to consider the implications of teaching a physical skill using a computer. The case study that was used was the development of a resource for teaching Australian Sign Language (Auslan) to hearing people that could be customised to cater for user's individual learning preferences. Learning Auslan as visual spatial languages presents several interesting human--computer interaction challenges to the interface designer as the user is trying to learn a physical skill via the computer. In addition, multiple vocabularies could be targeted to meet the needs of different users by implementing dynamic insertion of resources. The premise for this approach was to empower the deaf community to create and customise their own teaching resources rather than being dependent on a programmer for each new version of the learning material.
