Abstract
In this article we focus on a new field of application of ICT techniques and technologies in learning activities. With these activities with computer platforms, attention allows us to break down the problem of understanding a speculative scenario into a series of computationally less demanding and localized lack of attention. The system considers the students’ attention level while performing a task in learning activities. The goal is to propose an archi-tecture that measures the level of attentiveness in real scenario, and detect patterns of behavior in different attention levels among different students. Measurements of attention level are obtained by a proposed model, and user for training a decision support system that in a real scenario makes recommendations for the teachers so as to prevent undesirable behavior.
