E-Learning

Constant technological advances offer increasingly flexible training solutions, allowing novel forms of teaching and learning to be devised. If the quality of content is essential for any kind of teaching, equally important is, in the case of e-learning, the quality of interaction, unfortunately often disregarded. The research of Marco Porta in the field of e-learning has focused on the improvement of interaction, obtained mainly by means of perceptive interfaces. Especially, implicit communication can be particularly effective, because it can detect potentially critical "cognitive states", both through eye parameters and by means of the analysis of face expressions and user behavior.
