Object Manipulation In Educational Multimodal Systems for Contextual Learning

Learning does not need to be classroom based, but can occur in a variety of places and for a variety of reasons. This assumption is often referred to in terms of the context of learning. In this paper, we focus on multimodality, as a means of exploring contextual learning for children. By multimodality we mean the interaction between visual, actional and linguistic communication that can be employed in learning. The use of multiple modalities is believed that engages learners’ interest and facilitates the process of learning.
