🎓 Data Storytelling and Eye Tracking (Peking University)
Professor Yan Pu at Peking University introduced the "Data Storytelling" course using Tobii Pro Spark eye trackers.
The goal is to help students turn deep insights from data into effective, persuasive stories.
- Eye tracking helps students evaluate each other's data storytelling projects, analyze audience attention flow, and adjust messages.
- Students learn how to design experiments, collect and analyze eye tracking data using Tobii Pro Lab software.
- This skill is expected to enrich their academic careers and open up new research potential.
🧠Correlation between student stress and concentration
Student stress and concentration (Study in Finland): The study used mobile eye-tracking to record the concentration of 53 students in a real classroom.
Stressed teachers tend to focus more on classroom management and transition activities rather than lecture content.
An in-depth case study of two students (one less stressed and one more stressed) shed light on differences in their attention allocation.
