EduEye: Workshop on Eye Tracking in Learning and Education (Tue, May 30, 2023 @ ETRA)

*** EduEye 2023 will take place as part of ETRA 2023 in Tübingen ***

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.

In addition, participants do not need to attend the full ETRA '22 to participate in the workshop. There is a "virtual workshop only" ticket available at the ETRA '22.

So EduEye participants need to book either the full ETRA '22 ticket or the virtual workshop only ticket to attend EduEye.

We are happy to announce that Prof. Tamara van Gog will give the keynote for our workshop!

• Cognitive states of learners, including attentiveness, proficiency, and cognitive load
• Teacher-student interaction and student-student interaction
• Eye movement modeling examples and other applications of visualizing gaze to improve education
• Eye gazes for education in 3D or virtual reality
• Collaborative learning (including remote and co-located learning)
• Eye tracking as active input strategy for interactive learning environments
• Eye tracking devices and hardware for education 
• Privacy issues in educational eye tracking
• Crowd-sourced eye tracking studies for education
• Eye tracking research on learning to read and reading strategies
