Abstract:
Multimedia is an essential and integral part of electronic learning (e-learning). In this study, teaching performance and student learning experience are measured using real-time multimedia processing tools and techniques for the e-learning paradigm. Visual attention and visual engagement analysis are performed using two developed algorithms. Video lectures are recorded and delivered to students in e-learning pedagogical setup, which are examined for the visual attention and visual engagement of the student and teacher, respectively. Proposed methodology integrates the assessment on both student and teacher ends. Multimedia processing of video lectures for teaching performance produces scoring dataset. The same methodology on student end for visual attention is used to investigate student experience. These types of datasets then reduced to time-based datasets from the image-based dataset. Correlation and association of both datasets provide the opportunity to relate both student experience and teaching performance as well as to move forward to create content that is more useful. Computational performance of the developed algorithms is compared using different video lectures with their processed frames per second, which is analyzed as per their corresponding bins. Mean, max, and median of the processed frames of all the processed videos are also compared
