2. Summary
- This paper suggested that an educational application which is based on sketch recognition techniques. Mechanix is focused on helping users build the basic concept of mechanics, especially trusses. A instructor can upload question sets, and students can solve the problems with their sketches on the computer.
3. My opinion
1) Method
- I think that one of great advantages of Mechanix is prompt feedbacks. Once students submit their drawing, it will automatically tell their errors that need to be fixed. Otherwise, it will show correct message.
2) Idea
- The idea that providing sketch recognition techniques for drawing trusses is a good idea. This application is beneficial for both instructors and students. For students, they can learn the mechanics concepts by getting detailed feedbacks, and for instructors, they are able to grade student assignments in an effective way.
3) New research idea
- For now, I cannot come up with any brand new ideas, but I have participated in the mechanix project. We changed UI in more intuitive way.
