The New Age Interactive Soccer Training System: A Novel Approach of collaborative learning outside the classroom (2011)

ABSTRACT
A complete learning experience of a child includes not only academic but also physical activities. Often times, interpersonal relationship and conflicts are often made outside the wall of a classroom. In this paper, we aim to bring collaborative learning outside the classroom and into a soccer field through a hypothetical system for children age 5-14 that will promote teamwork and betterment of interpersonal communication on and off the field. This system consist of three sections: An input system that reads the position and direction of both the ball and the players; A software component that calculates the best move given the input, and an output system that utilize the Bluetooth protocol to transmit the best move to the players. This paper will focus on the software part of the system, while also briefly sketch the schematics and requirement of the entire system, including its specification and potential cost.
