Online Learning
Summary
FRT is being used in online learning for identity verification, attendance tracking, exam invigilation, and monitoring of student learning. Engagement analysis tracks student facial expressions and body language to assess whether the student is, and adaptive learning tracks student reactions and adjusts content delivery based on their emotional responses to the learning material.
Concerns
The use of facial recognition technology in online learning raises privacy and ethical concerns, and proper measures should be taken to ensure that students' data is collected, stored, and processed in a secure and ethical manner. The technology raises concerns about privacy, accuracy, biases, ethical concerns, technical glitches, and reliance on technology. It is important for education institutions to weigh the benefits and risks and to take steps to address these concerns, such as implementing strict privacy policies, testing the technology for biases, and providing training to instructors on how to use the technology effectively.
