    Abstract

    The paper presents the evolution of Presentation Trainer, a prototypi- cal sensor-based toolkit that works as a public speaking instructor. It tracks the learner’s body posture, movements and voice in order to provide instructional feedback on nonverbal communication skills. Based on our design-based re- search the current version of the Presentation Trainer is able to provide the learner with the type of feedback that it considers to be appropriate according to the learner’s performance; it includes haptic feedback helping to reduce the learner’s cognitive load.
