Abstract
Teaching support software for the hearing impaired students who study computer operation was developed. It is named as SZKIT. The software shows icons of modifier keys when the teacher presses modifier keys and shows mouse icon when he/she clicks a mouse button. These icons appear near the mouse cursor. By this function, a difference between simple dragging and dragging with modifier key can be distinguishable. For the hearing impaired students, it is difficult to distinguish such differences without voice information, because the motions of the mouse cursor on the screen are almost same. Also SZKIT can show instruction texts under the mouse cursor. The timing of changing the texts is controlled by a hot key, keeping the focus on the main application software. From the results of questionnaire to the hearing impaired students, it is clear that SZKIT is useful to learn computer operation.
