Abstract :
The Stanford American Sign Language Project is a videodisc-based Hypercard application that teaches ASL to students who can read English. It is built around video segments of naturally signed narrative, which the student is asked to translate. The narrative can be slowed down stopped, or repeated on request, and the student can check his or her translation against an English word-by-word translation of the ASL signs and against a translation of the contents of the narrative into standard English
