In today’s context of education, many institutions mainly focus on face to face teaching with students by conducting classes and lectures to teach various subjects and topics. In an effort to make learning more accessible and self-revisable, there have been numerous attempts doing so, such as e-learning platforms, where notes and forums are set up to enhance learning. These notes may come in the form of PDF (portable document file), power point slides etc. While some students may benefit from these resources provided, a handful of them may not be able to fully benefit from them, which could be due to an overload of information provided by the same resources. This problem could amplify further when more complex topics are introduced to them, such as trigonometry. To accommodate for a wider range of audience, much more can be done to help enhance learning. As such, this project aims to develop interactive learning for students as an effort to reduce misconceptions and enhance learning. For the interactive learning, a hardware based on Arduino will be innovated and used with animated videos about trigonometry.
