Revolution in teaching/MOOCs by the use of real-time face detection

Bharadwaj Vishanth Thiyagarajan · 2015

The use of computer has become essential and easy for students. Using the computer to perform teaching for the students can be a great advantage. Here the focus is made on the working of the Haar-feature computer vision algorithm and the connectivism {Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)}, which are then collaborated to aggrandize the student learning capabilities. The use of these methods can overcome the absence of a human tutor where computer can communicate to teach the students. The principles/Algorithms of FACE-DETECTION, FACE-TRACKING, CONNECTIVISM and FOCUS-CAPTURE are mentioned in this paper. Hence a new creative approach for MOOCs can be used to overcome the age-old study methods that were monotonous. This novel method can also increase the speed and accuracy of the learning.
