| dc.description.abstract | Over the past decade the rapid growth of
technology has resulted in online learning gaining a lot
of traction as the preferred method of studying amongst
students. Accelerated further by the COVID-19 global
pandemic, online education has overtaken traditional
classroom education as students’ preferred choice in
learning. Traditional Classroom teaching has always
been bi-directional, involving interactions between
students and their teachers. Online Education in
comparison has become more uni-directional and this
lack of interaction between the student and teacher can
severely impede a student’s concentration. In addition,
the presence of countless other distractions in a virtual
environment has contributed towards students being
more demotivated and uninterested in their education.
This has brought the true effectiveness of online
education into question. It is with the intention of
countering these problems that a Self-Monitoring System
for online education has been developed. The System
will be developed to follow the guidelines of the Buddhist
Philosophy of “Iddhipada” and will monitor students in a
variety of ways including tracking emotion and
monitoring activity which would help to improve
concentration, motivation and produce better results. It is
hoped that this system will help make online education as
productive and focused as it can be. | en_US |
