With the Spread of global pandemic Covid-19, the traditional education was transformed to online from traditional learning drastically. Hence the use of e-Learning platforms was increased. But this idea has issues with certain communities of people around the world. The hearing-impaired people have many issues with eLearning platforms because of their deficiency in hearing sound. Therefore, through this paper authors are introducing a learning platform for hearing impaired communities to aid in learning effectively. The proposed platform uses sign language to facilitate communication among students and tutors while providing sign language learning materials, practicing opportunities and Q&A sessions. The system has a low light enhancement module to enhance the videos uploaded by the tutor, module to convert the uploaded videos to American Sign Language and it also converts the questions asked via sign language to text.

(2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Samarasekara, H. D. K.; Hansaka, H. M. P.; Rajapaksha, S. D. D.; Tharaka, W. A. D. G.; Manathunga, K.; Sriyarathna, D.C.
With the pandemic, coaching or tutoring classes became to halt as the underlying system wasn’t facilitating to adapt to emergency teaching mechanisms due to sparse of relevant technologies and tutor unawareness. SmartCoach is an integrated platform that allows students to find suitable tutors based on recommendations and other parameters like proximity, previous track record etc. using sentiment analysis and natural language processing. For tutors, SmartCoach allows publishing learning materials, automatic quiz creation, tracking attendance and, attentiveness during classes using OpenCV library. Moreover tutors get a dashboard featuring critical aspects about their classes and, personal income. This research is aimed to introduce a comprehensive distance learning platform with novel technological approaches that connect both potential students and tutors to a common platform.
