Research Gap

In relation to the literature surveys that were conducted for the module of text-to-sign language conversion, few research gaps were discovered and listed below:

• Communication gap between hearing impaired students and tutors

• No proper e-learning system for hearing-impaired community

• Existing systems only have recorded videos of sign language representation which takes additional human effort.

• Hearing-impaired community couldn't clear their doubts using any e-learning system.

Research Problem

There is no LMS on teaching sign language.


The sign language tutors are lack of knowledge in teaching online platform.


Lack of dataset for sign language.
