Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A digital instructional environment leverages an infrared eye-tracker to monitor a learner's reading and viewing of text and simulations for subject matter. The system detects out-of-order reading/viewing patterns that could lead to poor comprehension. The digital learning environment communicates with other tutorial components including simulation environments, pedagogical agents and may respond in real-time to such patterns with messages that guide learners (knowledge acquirers) to return to effective reading/viewing patterns so as to promote effective construction of mental model(s) developed during knowledge acquisition/learning.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-based engineering knowledge acquisition system, comprising: a digital processor supporting a user-interactive training material associated with a respective domain that includes at least one diagram; a display monitor coupled to the processor and rendering to an acquirer-user at least one screen view of the user-interactive training material, the at least one screen view having any of text and graphics in a certain locational arrangement relativ…
