Body Sensors Monitoring System for Increasing E-Learning Effectiveness

This paper represents basic features of a modern e-learning system that aims to increase efficiency of teaching process. Like the polygraph (known also as a lie detector), system collects data about body parameters of individual learners, responding to their psychological state and takes real time decisions about best way that learning content should be presented to them according to their learning modality. Following the same principles, examination and evaluation processes can be also improved under some conditions. Advanced low-energy sensor network technology is also described as a backbone on which is based body data collection. The purposed system is flexible and suitable for both small and large groups of learners and can be built independently or easy integrated as an extension of existing e-learning system. The main limit of the purposed system is that it is appropriate mainly for the attendance learning forms. As an extra benefit, the sensors may detect if any learner has abnormal body functions and may alert about his health hazards.
