Abstract

Multimedia lessons have the potential to foster deeper understanding and knowledge. The way a robot instructor presents material and uses gestures likely impacts the perception students have toward the robot. We present preliminary data of students' (N=30) perceptions (i.e., social presence, personality, and method of instruction) of a robot instructor that applies spatial contiguity through the use of gestures. We conducted a between-subjects study with three conditions (no robot, robot without gestures, and robot with gestures). Students had the more positive perceptions of the robot with gestures and the less positive perceptions of the robot without gestures. Future work will include a larger sample size and investigate the impact on learning and retention.
