Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated an unprecedented surge in the proliferation of online E-learning platforms, designed to cater to a wide array of subjects across all age groups.However, a paucity of these platforms adopts a learner-centric approach or validates user learning, underscoring the need for effective E-learning validation and personalized learning recommendations.This paper addresses these challenges by implementing an innovative approach that leverages real-time electroencephalogram (EEG) signals collected from learners, who don neuro headsets while partaking in online courses.These EEG signals are subsequently classified using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) deep learning models, with the intent of discerning the efficacy of the E-learning process.The proposed models have yielded promising classification accuracies of 68% and 97% for the CNN and LSTM models, respectively, demonstrating their rapidity and precision in classifying E-learning EEG signals.Thus, these models hold substantial potential for application in similar E-learning validation scenarios.Furthermore, this study introduces an automated framework designed to track the learning curve of users and furnish valuable recommendations for E-learning materials.The presented approach, therefore, not only validates the E-learning process but also aids in optimizing the learning experiences on E-learning platforms.
