Eye Gaze Sequence Analysis to Model Memory in E-education

International audienceIntelligent Tutoring Systems are now mature technologies that successfully help students to acquire new knowledge and competencies through various educational methods and in a personalized way. However, evaluating precisely what they recall at the end of the learning process remains a complex task. In this paper, we study if there are correlations between memory and gaze data in the context of e-education. Our long-term goal is to model the memory of students thank to an eye-tracker in a continuous and transparent way. These models could then be used to adapt recommendations of pedagogical resources to the students learning rate. So as to address this research question, we designed an experiment where students were asked to learn a short lesson about Esperanto. Our results show that some gaze characteristics are correlated with recall in memory
