HCI and Eye Tracking Technology for Learning Effect

The utilizing of interactive teaching and integrated application in technology has revolutionalized ways of teaching and learning. By making use of the interactive input and output devices that users are able to control the learning information from stem to stem. According to the research in Sander & McCormick (1987), it indicated that more than 80% that human beings manage to process cognitive information through visual operation. That is to say, the eye movement is an essential source of information in the cognitive processes. In combination with the human-computer interaction and eye movement processes, only if the eye obtain the correct teaching message which will generate the greatest effect for the content delivery in the digital learning industry. Therefore, the experiences of human-computer interaction and the eye tracking technology have been widely used in usability testing for different digital learning contents. This article will review the representative theory of interactive behaviour, eye tracking technologies and related studies. In addition, we will also discuss teaching operation and other basic data analysis in the use of eye tracking technology. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
