Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to seminar organized by the Bilkent Teaching and Learning Support Center (BTLSC).
Title: Exploration of Cognitive Processes with Eye Tracking
By: Prof. Dr. Kürşat Çağıltay, Computer Education & Instructional Technology, METU.
Date: November 7, 2019
Time: 12:40-13:30
Place: Electrical and Electronics Engineering, EE-01
Abstract:
Eye tracking technology can be used to explore cognitive activities in learning processes. Using eye movement measurements obtained through this technology provides the opportunity to test assumptions about where people look during learning. Moreover, educators who gather eye tracking data can enhance the design of their teaching/learning materials on the basis of learners’ information-processing capabilities. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the basics of eye tracking technology and present some of our related projects.
