On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
We humans rely heavily on our eyes to absorb information. Therefore, studying where a person looks, for how long, and in what order can give us crucial insights into learning and instruction. The method for measuring this visual information intake is eye tracking.
In this workshop, I will first introduce eye tracking by discussing the physiological and psychological assumptions underlying this method, followed by an introduction to its technology. I will then describe, with examples, the insights we can gain from eye tracking on various topics, such as developing expertise in a profession, designing learning and testing materials, or deciphering the cognitive and perceptual processes that underlie learning. Finally, I will discuss the main challenges that eye tracking brings methodologically, conceptually, but also ethically. I will end by providing an outlook on the future of eye tracking.
