Evaluation of Students’ Learning Engagement in Online Classes Based on Multimodal Vision Perspective

The method of evaluating student engagement in online classrooms can provide a timely alert to learners who are distracted, effectively improving classroom learning efficiency. Based on data from online classroom scenarios, a cascaded analysis network model integrating gaze estimation, facial expression recognition, and action recognition is constructed to recognize student attention and grade engagement levels, thereby assessing the level of student engagement in online classrooms. Comparative experiments with the LRCN model, C3D network model, etc., demonstrate the effectiveness of the cascaded analysis network model in evaluating engagement, with evaluations being more accurate than other models. The method of evaluating student engagement in online classrooms compensates for the shortcomings of single-method evaluation models in detecting student engagement in classrooms.
