Abstract

This article aims to describe a possible scenario for the applications of e-learning solutions to the field of Physical Education. Knowledge related to Physical Education is here defined as enactive knowledge, codified in the form of motor responses and acquired in the action, not mediated by the iconic and symbolic plan. The iconic and symbolic dimension, typical of Graphical User Interfaces, has been a barrier to the creation of e-learning strategies in Physical Education. The new paradigms of Human Computer Interaction such as Natural Interfaces, the spread of “everyday’’ technologies that retrieve to HCI the physical dimension, and the diffusion of exergames in education, now make it possible to imagine large-scale creative and collaborative elearning-based physical education. The article describes coarse-grained theoretical and methodological approaches underlying learning of motor skills and indicates the possible technological scenario, according to the type of interaction determined by the Natural Interfaces.
