Description:

Australian Sign Language (Auslan) is the language of the Australian Deaf community. It is a visual language which uses signs, facial expression, and space to convey meaning. The RIDBC Auslan Tutor successfully conveys these characteristics through videos, allowing users to easily access and learn Auslan.

The application is designed for families of young deaf children to assist them to learn Auslan to promote early communication between parent and child. Over 500 signs are included. These signs were carefully chosen as those most needed by families in their interactions with, and teaching of, their young deaf children. Each sign has five corresponding entries which can be viewed on demand as often as necessary. The five entries include: the handshape used to form the sign, three video clips demonstrating the single sign, the sign used in a phrase, the phrase used in a sentence, and a text note about Auslan grammar that is pertinent to the sentence. These notes have been included to help the user gain a basic understanding of the grammatical structure of Auslan.

This clear and easy to follow hierarchy allows the user to build upon their previous knowledge as they move through the entries.

The portability increases the amount of instruction the user can access, providing ongoing learning and communication opportunities throughout the day.
