Abstract

In the current education environment, learning takes place outside the physical classroom, and tutors need to determine whether learners are absorbing the content delivered to them. Online assessment has become a viable option for tutors to establish the achievement of course learning outcomes by learners. It provides real-time progress and immediate results; however, it has challenges in quantifying learner aspects like wavering behavior, confidence level, knowledge acquired, quickness in completing the task, task engagement, inattentional blindness to critical information, etc. An intelligent eye gaze-based assessment system called IEyeGASE is developed to measure insights into these behavioral aspects of learners. The system can be integrated into the existing online assessment system and help tutors re-calibrate learning goals and provide necessary corrective actions.

Highlights

Learning assessment is a fundamental feedback mechanism that allows the stakeholders to understand what is being learned and where the learning resources need to be focused
We developed an intelligent system called “Intelligent Eye Gaze learner AsSEssment System” (IEyeGASE) to analyze the eye gaze of the learners taking an online assessment and map to cognitive parameters to provide deeper insights into their performance
The column Correct Option is the answer to the Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) discussed in the Section 4.2

Summary

Introduction

Learning assessment is a fundamental feedback mechanism that allows the stakeholders to understand what is being learned and where the learning resources need to be focused. Assessment can take different modalities based on the purpose. It can either be summative or formative [1,2]. It is relevant to understand the learning needs of learners and to adjust the instruction . Summative assessments determine to what extent the learners have achieved the learning goals and acquired the critical knowledge and skills related to educational content. They are usually conducted at the end of an instructional unit. Subjective is a form of questioning where there is more than one way of expressing the answer
