Educational content can be presented to a user via a display. Eye movement of the user while the user gazes at the educational content can be monitored. Based, at least in part, on the monitoring the eye movement of the user while the user gazes at the educational content, a time when to present assessment content to the user can be determined. The assessment content can be presented to the user at the determined time.

Claims (72)

1. A method, comprising:

presenting educational content to a user via a display;

capturing, by a camera, images of the user while the user gazes at the educational content and generating, by the camera, image data;

generating, by processing the image data, user gesture data indicating eye movement of the user while the user gazes at the educational content;

monitoring, in real time, the eye movement of the user while the user gazes at the educational content by analyzing, using at least one processor, the user gesture data;

based, at least in part, on the monitoring the eye movement of the user while the user gazes at the educational content, determining, using the at least one processor, a time when to present assessment content to the user; and

presenting the assessment content to the user at the determined time.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting the assessment content based, at least in part, on the monitoring the eye movement of the user while the user gazes at the educational content.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

monitoring facial expressions of the user while the user gazes at the educational content;

wherein the determining the time when to present assessment content to the user further is based, at least in part, on the monitoring the facial expressions of the user while the user gazes at the educational content.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

selecting the assessment content based, at least in part, on the monitoring the facial expressions of the user while the user gazes at the educational content.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

monitoring emotions expressed by the user while the user gazes at the educational content;

wherein the determining the time when to present assessment content to the user further is based, at least in part, on the monitoring the emotions expressed by the user while the user gazes at the educational content.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

selecting the assessment content based, at least in part, on the monitoring the emotions expressed by the user while the user gazes at the educational content.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving from the user answers to questions presented to the user in the assessment content;

based on the answers to the questions received from the user, determining whether to move to a next section of the educational content; and

responsive to determining to move to the next section of the educational content, skipping remaining sub-parts of the present section of the educational content and presenting the next section of the educational content to the user via the display.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving from the user answers to questions presented to the user in the assessment content;

based on the answers to the questions received from the user, determining whether to skip a particular sub-part of a present section of the educational content; and

responsive to determining to skip the particular sub-part of the present section of the educational content, skipping the particular sub-part of the present section of the educational content and presenting another sub-part of another section of the educational content to the user via the display.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving from the user answers to questions presented to the user in the assessment content;

based on the answers to the questions received from the user, determining whether to present a next sub-part of a present section of the educational content; and

responsive to determining to present the next sub-part of the present section of the educational content, presenting the next sub-part of the present section of the educational content to the user via the display.

10. A system, comprising:

at least one processor programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:

presenting educational content to a user via a display;

capturing, by a camera, images of the user while the user gazes at the educational content and generating, by the camera, image data;

generating, by processing the image data, user gesture data indicating eye movement of the user while the user gazes at the educational content;

monitoring, in real time, eye movement of the user while the user gazes at the educational content by analyzing the user gesture data;

based, at least in part, on the monitoring the eye movement of the user while the user gazes at the educational content, determining a time when to present assessment content to the user; and

presenting the assessment content to the user at the determined time.

11. The system of claim 10 , the executable operations further comprising:

selecting the assessment content based, at least in part, on the monitoring the eye movement of the user while the user gazes at the educational content.

12. The system of claim 10 , the executable operations further comprising:

monitoring facial expressions of the user while the user gazes at the educational content;

wherein the determining the time when to present assessment content to the user further is based, at least in part, on the monitoring the facial expressions of the user while the user gazes at the educational content.

13. The system of claim 12 , the executable operations further comprising:

selecting the assessment content based, at least in part, on the monitoring the facial expressions of the user while the user gazes at the educational content.

14. The system of claim 10 , the executable operations further comprising:

monitoring emotions expressed by the user while the user gazes at the educational content;

wherein the determining the time when to present assessment content to the user further is based, at least in part, on the monitoring the emotions expressed by the user while the user gazes at the educational content.

15. The system of claim 14 , the executable operations further comprising:

selecting the assessment content based, at least in part, on the monitoring the emotions expressed by the user while the user gazes at the educational content.

16. The system of claim 10 , the executable operations further comprising:

receiving from the user answers to questions presented to the user in the assessment content;

based on the answers to the questions received from the user, determining whether to move to a next section of the educational content; and

responsive to determining to move to the next section of the educational content, skipping remaining sub-parts of the present section of the educational content and presenting the next section of the educational content to the user via the display.

17. The system of claim 10 , the executable operations further comprising:
