We have learned that just by the fact that students were asked to mark each time they lose attention, they were more attentive during the lecture.

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
