Student Attentive State Data Accumulation for Attention Tracker Development
Keywords:
attention tracker, gaze location, webcamAbstract
Attention is vital to learning, and attention trackers are
potentially powerful tools for education practitioners. Herein, the
promising technologies and relevant studies on attention are reviewed.
In order to realize the goals of attention trackers, this study aimed to
accumulate initial attentive state data, and to explore potential problems
in the use of the accumulated data. It was found that the gaze location
was a good estimator of the student’s attentive state. It was also
discovered that real-time applications of attention trackers may find that
previously obtained student attentive states must be altered at a later
time. More studies are required for the development of attention
trackers with desired characteristics. However, published results are
promising.
