Webcam-based attention tracking: a feasibility study among MOOC learners

Claudia Hauff

The research was kicked off within the project Webcam-based attention tracking: a feasibility study among MOOC learners and led to
(1) the development of an edX widget that can be employed at scale and in a privacy-aware manner in edX MOOCs
(2) the deployment of this widget for experimental purposes
(3) the creation of a benchmark to evaluate eye-tracking toolkits in the context of online learning
(4) the collaboration between researchers from TU Delft and Tallinn University of Technology.
