Blink Counting Device for Attention Monitoring in Smart Classrooms

The blink counting device can be integrated in the environment of the classroom - i.e. in the desk. If implemented in a DSS or a blended learning framework, it will provide data on the attentional resources of the individual learner. Based on this information the teaching style can be adapted to the individual child. Moreover, by using such implicit, indirect indicators the process of human-system interaction will be relieved from the feeling of being observed or videotaped.
