q2 i? GazeTutor dynamically reoriented learners' attentional patterns towards the interface. → D’Mello 2016

Evidence¶

D’Mello 2016¶

D’Mello, S. K. (2016). Giving Eyesight to the Blind: Towards Attention-Aware AIED. International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40593-016-0104-1

q2 · i? · causal · r1

In the GazeTutor study, the system detected inattention when gaze was not on the tutor or image for at least five consecutive seconds, then interrupted speech, directed learners to reorient, and repeated the utterance. The article reports that "We found that GazeTutor was successful in dynamically reorienting learners’ attentional patterns towards the interface".

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Attention — outcome: instruction changes it
