Abstract

According to recent studies, good learning implies paying attention, which is crucial for each child, especially for those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who are known to usually experience attention deficit. Basically, the attention deficit has caused concerns among stakeholders (teachers and parents) regarding their academic achievements. Due to the importance and relevance of attention in productive and personalized learning, many research have studied the different technologies present nowadays that help to assess the attention. In this work, we present a tool that automatically detect attention for children with ASD when viewing learning materials online. Additionally, the process of developing a user-friendly platform is important. Thus, this paper presents the design, the development, and the evaluation phases of the interface. The latter was done using the Heuristic method of Nielsen and the System Usability Scale (SUS).
