System and method for improving student learning by monitoring student cognitive state
First Claim
1. A system for improving student learning comprising:
- learning material having content for presentation to a student;
an EEG system configured to measure a cognitive load of the student as the learning material is presented in a learning session;
a device configured to measure physiological data of the student as the learning material is presented in the learning session, wherein the data includes at least three of a brain activity of the student, a measurement of the time it takes the student to read the material, a response time of the student to a request or question posed, a correctness of a response by the student, a total time the student has been engaged in learning, a position of gaze of the student and a posture of the student;
a cognitive assessment algorithm configured to determine a cognitive state of the student based on the cognitive load and the physiological data; and
a learning action algorithm configured to modify a continued presentation of the learning material in real time based on the cognitive state of the student.

Abstract
A system and method for improving student learning includes learning material that is presented to a student and a device that is used to acquire physiological data from the student in real time during a learning session. A cognitive assessment algorithm determines a cognitive state of the student using the physiological data, and a learning action algorithm modifies the presentation of the learning material in response to the student'"'"'s cognitive state. The learning material can include lectures, questions asked of the student or problems or activities being completed by the student. In one embodiment, the device directly measures the brain activity of the student to determine the student'"'"'s cognitive state. The cognitive state of the student can include the student'"'"'s cognitive load, engagement or fatigue.
