New SOPHIAS dataset captures student presentations with multimodal sensor data

Researchers have introduced SOPHIAS, a new multimodal dataset designed to capture student oral presentations using various sensors. This 12-hour dataset includes recordings from 65 students at the Autonomous University of Madrid, incorporating data from webcams, audio, eye-tracking, smartwatch physiological sensors, and interaction logs. SOPHIAS also contains presentation slides, teacher and peer evaluations, and contextual annotations, aiming to facilitate research in automated feedback and Multimodal Learning Analytics. AI

IMPACT Enables development of automated feedback and Multimodal Learning Analytics tools for educational presentations.

    A Multimodal Dataset of Student Oral Presentations with Sensors and Evaluation Data

    arXiv:2601.07576v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Oral presentation skills are a critical component of higher education, yet comprehensive datasets capturing real-world student performance across multiple modalities remain scarce. To address this gap, we present SOPHIAS (…
