Title
On interactive interfaces for learning chinese character writing online
Abstract
Learning to write Chinese character is a crucial process for nonnative speakers in Chinese learning and a big stumbling block also. Luckily there are numbers of websites providing online learning of Chinese character writing which may benefit learners in overcoming the barriers. In this study we focus on these websites and emphasizes on the instruction of Chinese character writing. There were 24 of the websites screened from the Internet for further investigation. After intensive analysis and comparison, eight main factors in interface design of Chinese character writing were identified. They are: Media of presentation, Grid pattern, Tracing outline, Color coding, Stroke labeling, Play control, Stroke speed, and Writing exercise. Based on the analysis of the advantage and disadvantage of different implementations of these 8 main factors, an improved interface design proposal for Chinese character writing instruction is then propose to the follow-up research.
