Eye-tracker technology in didactic research

Abstract

Eye-tracking, i.e. the measurement of eye activity as a technology is used in many different areas. The most useful is for example using an eye-tracker as a tool for controlling a computer, as a diagnostic tool, as well as a tool for scientific research in many different subjects (marketing, education, medicine, and so on). Our experiences with using eye-tracker technology for research into the effectiveness of learning materials and learning outcomes will be described in the paper.Eye-tracking, i.e. the measurement of eye activity as a technology is used in many different areas.
