EduEye: Workshop on Eye Tracking in Learning and Education (2024 @ ETRA)
Workshop Description
With its duality of being an active input technology and a passive sensor, eye tracking provides unique opportunities for education and learning. Actively, the technology can serve as an input strategy for interactive learning environments. Passively, it can be applied to observe learning states and gain a better understanding of learners' cognitive processes. Given its scalability, it can, or instance, help to improve collaborative learning, e.g., by establishing connections between learners during online lectures. Teachers or lecturers can also gain feedback about their learning material by analyzing students' eye gazes. However, many open challenges remain for the application of mobile eye tracking in learning and educational scenarios, including technical constraints and privacy concerns. This workshop specifically targets researchers and practitioners who are interested in using eye tracking in education and learning. This includes researchers from all areas of psychology, human-computer interaction, computer science, eye tracking methodology, and other related fields.
