Abstract

Due to the opportunities provided by the Internet, people are taking advantage of e-learning courses and enormous research efforts have been dedicated to the development of e-learning systems. So far, many e-learning systems are proposed and used practically. However, in these systems the e-learning completion rate is low. One of the reasons is the low study desire and motivation. In this work, we present an IoT-Based e-learning testbed. We carried out some experiments considering meditation parameter with a student of our laboratory. We used Mind Wave Mobile (MWM) to get the data and considered four situations: Playing Game, Watching Movie, Listening Music and Reading Book. The evaluation results show that our testbed can judge the student situation by meditation parameter.
