Ongoing Research About the Use of Commercial-off-the-shelf Wrist Wearables in Educational Contexts

In this paper, we present the main achievements and analysis of our ongoing piece of research about the use of wearables in educational contexts. This work has led us to explore the use of wearables in educational environments with the aim of enriching the student profile with new information, such as sleep and stress indicators. These indicators can be estimated through the use of widely available wearable device sensors, namely Commercial-Off-The-Shelf wrist wearables. The first step has been to validate the use of these devices and their sensors as good predictors of stress and sleep. Once this has been validated, we have proposed some indicators that offer the user the opportunity to get information such as the sleepiness quality, the chronotype, the latent stress of the stress regularity. These are different features that contribute to get a better knowledge of the learner and his state. In this paper, we will present the main research lines that make up our project, the elements implemented in our system and how these indicators can be applied in educational environments.
