Gaze- and Semantics-aware Learning Material to Capture Learners’ Comprehension Processes

Abstract

Learners’ comprehension processes and their states of knowledge can be used to analyze and facilitate learning. The purpose of this study is to develop a system that records the learning processes to estimate the learners’ comprehension processes with respect to the target domain-knowledge and state of knowledge from their gaze on the screen when viewing the learning material. Gaze is often interpreted as a part of one’s thinking processes. In this study, we developed learning material that records learners’ learning processes by measuring their gaze to determine the semantics they tried to understand. In addition, we created an authoring system for developing the learning material.
