The rapid progress of technologies has enabled the development of
innovative environment in learning activities when the student used computer
devices with access to Internet. The goal of this paper is to propose an ambient
intelligent (AmI) system, directed at the teacher that indicates the level of attention
of the students in the class when it requires the use of the computer connected
to the Internet. This AmI system captures, measures, and supervises the
interaction of each student with the computer (or laptop) and indicates the level
of attention of students in the activities proposed by the teacher. When the
teacher has big class, he/she can visualize in real time the level of engagement
of the students in the proposed activities and act accordingly when necessary.
Measurements of attention level are obtained by a proposed model, and user for
training a decision support system that in a real scenario makes recommendations
for the teachers so as to prevent undesirable behaviour and change the
learning styles.This work has been supported by COMPETE: POCI-01-0145-FEDER-007043 and
