Abstract :
The rapid growth of digital learning platforms has increased the demand for intelligent systems that can monitor and enhance student engagement during online education. This study presents the development of an intelligent educational interface that utilizes face and eye tracking techniques to analyze learner attention in real time. The proposed system employs the Haar Cascade algorithm combined with image processing methods to detect facial features and track eye movements through a webcam. By continuously monitoring the position and movement of the eyes and face, the system can estimate whether a learner is attentive, distracted, or absent during an online session. The interface processes video frames using computer vision techniques to identify facial regions and accurately detect eyes, enabling continuous tracking of gaze direction and blink patterns. The Haar Cascade classifier is used due to its efficiency and reliability in real-time object detection, making it suitable for educational applications that require low computational resources. The collected behavioral data can be used to generate feedback for instructors and adaptive responses within the learning environment, thereby improving interaction and learning outcomes. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system effectively detects faces and eyes under normal lighting conditions and provides reliable engagement indicators. The intelligent interface can assist educators in monitoring student participation in remote learning environments while also supporting personalized learning experiences. This research highlights the potential of integrating computer vision and intelligent interfaces to create more responsive and adaptive digital education systems.
