Technology has helped to innovate in the teaching-learning process. Today's students are more demanding actors when it comes to the environment, they have at their disposal to learn, experiment and develop critical thinking. The area of…
Many neuromuscular disorders impair function of cranial nerve enervated muscles. Clinical assessment of cranial muscle function has several limitations. Clinician rating of symptoms suffers from inter-rater variation, qualitative or…
Wearable devices, or "wearables," bring great benefits but also potential risks that could expose users' activities with- out their awareness or consent. In this paper, we report findings from the first large-scale survey conducted to…
Within the past two decades, Augmented Reality (AR) applications have received increased attention. Augmented Reality is now widely used in the education sector at level K to 12. AR is expected to be generally adopted in two to three years…
The increase in world elderly population has significantly underlined the need for continuous health care measurement, specifically in rehabilitation monitoring. The new technologies has enabled people to have in home healthcare services,…
This article describes an approach to detect the wearing location of smart devices worn by pedestrians and cyclists. The detection, which is based solely on the sensors of the smart devices, is important context-information which can be…
One of the oft-cited qualities sought after in a potential future engineering employee is an analytical mind that is "continually examining things." In one sense this examination is discouraged in an instructional laboratory employing…
In this short paper, we explore the enrichment of event logs with data from wearable devices. We discuss three approaches: (1) treating wearable data as event attributes, linking them directly to individual events, (2) treating wearable…
Recent years have witnessed the rapid development of human activity recognition (HAR) based on wearable sensor data. One can find many practical applications in this area, especially in the field of health care. Many machine learning…
In developing and underdeveloped regions, many 'Blind Colleges' exclusively enroll individuals with Blindness or Vision Impairment (BLV) for higher education. While advancements in accessible technologies have facilitated BLV student…
The concern on human health is often overseen while wearable technologies attract exploding interests. Mainly due to the extreme proximity or a direct physical contact to the human skin, wearable communications devices are acknowledged to…
Due to the multidisciplinary nature of wearable technology, the industry faces potential limitations in innovation. The wearable technology industry is still in its infancy and increased applicable use faces stagnation despite the plethora…
Previous research has shown that inquiry-based learning through hands-on experiments, as well as learning with multiple, external representations (MERs) can promote the understanding of complex phenomena in physics. In this context,…
Attention is a key factor for successful learning, with research indicating strong associations between (in)attention and learning outcomes. This dissertation advanced the field by focusing on the automated detection of attention-related…
We show how builtin sensors in mobile devices can be used as portable laboratories at the service of teaching experimental sciences, especially physics, in the last years of high school and first years of university. We describe experiments…
AI technologies that sense student attention and emotions to enable more personalised teaching interventions are increasingly promoted, but raise pressing questions about student learning, well-being, and ethics. In particular, students'…
Current changes in society and the education system, cumulated with the accelerated development of new technologies, entail inherent changes in the educational process. Numerous studies have shown that the pandemic has forced a rapid…
Although distance learning presents a number of interesting educational advantages as compared to in-person instruction, it is not without its downsides. We first assess the educational challenges presented by distance learning as a whole…
Edge Machine Learning (Edge ML), which shifts computational intelligence from cloud-based systems to edge devices, is attracting significant interest due to its evident benefits including reduced latency, enhanced data privacy, and…
Affect recognition aims to detect a person's affective state based on observables, with the goal to e.g. provide reasoning for decision making or support mental wellbeing. Recently, besides approaches based on audio, visual or text…
