The technological solution proposed in this paper is composed by a special glove; used to measure hand data for the recognition of signs and a graphical user interface designed following a blackboard metaphor aiming to provide a clear feedback. The system was designed to be usable independently of the age, experience with computers and literacy/numeracy level of the users. Nine teachers and three students were tested to obtain feedback about the usefulness of the system. The results indicate that even though the system is still lacking in recognition accuracy, it provides a more interactive and engaging teaching environment that could prove beneficial for the learning process. Among these benefits are the reduction of physical resources needed by the instructor, a tool for self practice/learning that produces a better use of resources and a possible promising tool to promote group teaching/learning.
