Abstract
This research attempts to explore and elucidate the potential applications of educational technologies such as ICT and ubiquitous computing technologies in solving core domain problems that exist in lectures of higher education. This article emphasizes the importance of student-centric awareness in an effective teaching system. Apart from the continuously integrated and updated personal profile, non-verbal communication such as students’ body-talk reaction is one of the important elements of reading and understanding students in the classroom. In the proposed effective teaching system, student facial expression and sitting posture are continuously monitored and analyzed, based on the applicable set of effective teaching support agents are employed to support a teacher to make a conclusion, take an action, or automatically involve in the teaching process.
