Students' participation in traditional classroom settings may be hindered due
to various reasons, which interrupt the class flow or cause distraction among
the rest of the class members. To tackle that problem, we propose using
applications based on touchless hand gestures (THG) that would allow students
to interact from their own places. The feasibility of this proposal is analyzed
in this work. To do it, we requested students to use two applications from
their physical locations. Obtained qualitative results suggest the proposal may
be used in an acceptable way as the use of applications based on THG becomes
widespread. Actually, students who participated recommend the use of this
proposal, since they may be more motivated to participate actively in the
development of classes, which would result in better teaching-learning
processes.
