EduEye: Workshop on Eye Tracking in Learning and Education
*** 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.
Workshop Program (preliminary)
-
Welcome and introduction to workshop goals (10 min + 20 min)
The workshop will start with an introduction given by the workshop organizers. In the introduction the organizers will introduce the workshop topic and summarize its goals. This will be followed by a short introduction of the workshop participants to get to know each other and the topics that everybody is working on/interested in discussing during the workshop. For this, each participant will prepare one slide with information about their background (e.g., affiliation, main research interest) and what they are interested in discussing during the workshop. Every person will have 30 seconds to present this initial slide. -
Keynote (30 min + 10 min)
The keynote will be given by tba -
Coffee break (10 min)
-
Parallel group discussions (100 min)
The participants of the workshop will prepare short 3-min video presentations of their work. We will then spend most of the workshop on working in small groups to develop research ideas together. We have assigned all contributions to topics (see schedule on website). We will start the working session with playing your 3-minute presentations. After that, all participants (presenters and attendees) can work together on developing an answer to the questions: The classroom of the future, what would education look like in 15 years? Which studies should be conducted to get there? Of course, we ask you to focus on the role of eye tracking in this vision. Your presentation can form an inspiration for this question and you may present your ideas already in the presentation. -
Final discussion in plenary and farewell (60 min)
The results of the group discussions will be presented in the final plenary. Each group will have 10 minutes to present their results.

Organizers
is a postdoctoral cognitive psychologist at Ulm University in the project ``Gaze-assisted scalable interaction paradigms for pervasive classrooms''. His research interests are in human perception and visual attention in applied contexts outside the classical lab. He has already organized the Conference for Experimental Psychologists '21 (TeaP '21), EduEye 2022 and webinars on online experiments.
is a postdoctoral researcher at the Hector Research Institute of Education Sciences and Psychology in Tübingen. His research is situated at the intersection of computer science and educational science, with a methodological focus on eye tracking and physiological sensors.
is an Associate Professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Chur, Switzerland. His main research interests are in information visualization, visual analytics, data science, and eye tracking. He organized and co-chaired the workshops on eye tracking and visualization (ETVIS) in the past four editions and is now in the steering committee of ETVIS. Moreover, he was paper co-chair of VisSoft 2019, VINCI 2019, 2021 as well as general chair of VINCI 2020 and 2022.
