Social orienting of children with autism to facial expressions and speech: a study with a wearable eye-tracker in naturalistic settings

Aude Billard, Patrick Jermann, Basilio Noris, Silvia Magrelli

This study investigates attention orienting to social stimuli in children with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) during dyadic social interactions taking place in real-life settings. We study the effect of social cues that differ in complexity and distingui ...

Displaying Teacher's Gaze in a MOOC: Effects on Students' Video Navigation Patterns

Pierre Dillenbourg, Patrick Jermann, Kshitij Sharma

We present an eye-tracking study where we augment a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) video with the gaze information of the teacher. We tracked the gaze of a teacher while he was recording the content for a MOOC lecture. Our working hypothesis is that dis ...

USING FORUMS FOR PROMOTING STUDENT DIVERSITY

Patrick Jermann, Alexandra Corina Niculescu

Within the context of STEM education, students who enter university having studied mathematics in high school and men are considered the traditional population. From this perspective, students who do not correspond to such profile have more difficulties su ...

Collaborative Gaze Footprints: Correlates of Interaction Quality

Pierre Dillenbourg, Patrick Jermann, Marc-Antoine Nüssli

Dual eye tracking offers new possibilities for the analysis and diagnosis of collaborative interaction. Cross-recurrence analyses and visualizations offer insight into how closely two collaborators’ gaze follow each other. We contrast two cases to illustra ...
