OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
*Quantitative Methods Hub HT 2023* I see, therefore I learn: tracking eye movements to understand and improve learning and instruction
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.
