Presenting Our Research at IEEE TALE 2022: A Milestone Achievement

I am pleased to share that I recently presented my first first-authored paper at the IEEE TALE 2022 conference. This on-site presentation marked a significant milestone in my academic journey, and I am grateful for the experience.

The paper, titled “Detection of Online Student Behavior Using Emotion and Eye/Head Movement,” was a collaborative effort with my esteemed colleagues, Long Fai Cheung, Wa Lap Lam, and Henry C. B. Chan. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the co-authors, especially Henry, for their invaluable contributions and guidance.

About the Paper:

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly influenced the mode of education worldwide, with online and hybrid teaching becoming the norm. This shift has brought forth new challenges, including the monitoring of student behavior during online classes. Our paper presents initial work on using emotion and eye/head movement detection to understand online student behavior. We investigate how these methods can identify common classroom behaviors such as reading slides, writing notes, thinking, checking phones, and participating in classroom activities.

Presenting our work as a short paper at the IEEE TALE 2022 conference has been a rewarding experience. It provided an opportunity to share our insights and engage in enriching discussions with other researchers in the field. I’m glad to have had this opportunity, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to this important area of research.
