We have defined our need- maintaining classroom attentiveness throughout a lecture. Weeks 2 and 3 were dedicated to research work and interviews. We have interviewed students and professors from different fields of study, in the hopes of noticing common behaviors leading to classroom distraction and techniques to maintain attentiveness. The majority of the interviewees are aware of their low attentiveness levels and wish to improve it. Our competitive analysis showed different aspects of the problem and various solutions. Most solutions are problematic. Some require high cognitive load, some require too much engagement. Some are too restrictive, and some simply do not work. On Sunday 18/11 we are presenting our research work to the lab. First, we present our need and why we think it is necessary. Then, we will show our validation process and competitive analysis in more detail, and at last- our vision. To help every student who is motivated to improve his classro

This is the beginning of our journey. Five students from three different schools in IDC brought together under IDC's miLAB to create a new product to hopefully implement in a smart campus environment. This blog will document our process we are about to undergo. Our team is composed out of two Computer Science students, two Communications students and one Psychology student. During the upcoming year we will study, research and experiment such that by the end of the year we will have a viable physical prototype which makes a difference no matter how small (or big) in students day-to-day life. Stay tuned! Eyal, Roni, Shachar, Einat & Oren.
