Organizing learning stream data by eye-tracking in a blended learning environment integrated with social media

In this study, we integrate social media into the blended learning environment, and further delve into utilizing the eye-tracking technology to enhance learning to be socialized and more efficient. We propose an approach to employ eye-tracking to extract those related learning stream data according to different seeking patterns in a learning process. Based on these, we go further to organize these raw stream data into meaningful learning contents in accordance with specific tasks in order to benefit both teachers and students, which can assist the learning process and promote the learning efficiency in the blended learning environment.
