Operation-style answering in multimedia testing system DrilLs-M for Kanji letter shape learning

There are some practical Web-based testing systems and drill type CAI with multimedia questioning. Many of these systems do not adapt adequate answering methods for multimedia materials. In this research, we propose a uniform model of multimedia questioning and its description form. And we develop DrilLs-M: multimedia testing system with operation style answering. It enables some natural user actions as answering, such as, designation of areas and drawing lines with a mouse and pen tablet. It supports experiential learning effectively. We introduce suitable answering methods and various practical examples for some learning items of Kanji letter shape.
