Call for Papers
Philippine Information Technology Journal Special Issue on Eye Tracking

Data Analysis

Advances in eye tracking technologies, their declining costs, and the increasing number of methods for analysis and visualization have made it possible for researchers to investigate research questions about human attention that were previously inaccessible. Authors are invited to submit original work related to eye tracking as applied to any discipline but with an emphasis on data collection, cleaning, analysis, and interpretation. Topics may include but are not limited to the following:

· Methods for eye tracking data collection, cleaning, and summarization

· Eye tracking metrics

· Eye tracking pattern recognition

· Use of machine learning on eye tracking data

· Modeling of eye tracking data · Visualization methods

· Eye tracking studies within specific domains

From Learning Standards to Smart Learning Environments: A View of the Challenges of Technology Enhanced Learning Miguel Rodriguez Artacho

The main purpose of TEL has been to provide an adequate support at the right time and with the appropriate means to foster the learning process by means of technology. In the last years we have provide modelization frameworks for learning content as long as improved intelligent analysis of the needs of students at an individualized level. The appearance of IoT and the new scenarios of massive courses introduces new factors and needs in the design of personalized and effective learning situations based on sensible environments, ubiquitous learning and scalable infrastructure. This talk overviews the evolution of TEL and describes some of its current challenges to provide orchestration of services and analytics that makes use of technical and semantic interoperability of the student data.

Dr. Miguel Rodriguez Artacho is an Associate Professor of computer science specializing in technology-enhanced learning and educational modeling languages; computers in education; and ICT-based instructional design. He is also a member of a large European Union-funded project called eMadrid that is interested in all types of technologies as they apply to education.
