The talks
Stationary eye tracking in classroom settings: Application areas and first results
Speaker: Dr. Stefan Küchemann
In empirical research in education, stationary eye tracking solutions are mainly used in well-controlled laboratory studies whereas mobile eye trackers are very suitable in real dynamic environments such as classrooms. However, in various classroom settings students solve problems or learn independently, e.g., when working with an exercise sheet or textbook, where stationary eye trackers are preferred. In this talk, we discuss application areas, design criteria and first results of a stationary eye tracking study in a classroom setting.
The Regensburg Eye Tracking Classroom
Speakers: Dr. Jürgen Mottok, Lisa Grabinger, Florian Hauser, and Timur Ezer
The Regensburg Eye Tracking Classroom was established in 2018 by the Laboratory for Safe and Secure Systems (LaS³) at OTH Regensburg using funds from the FHInvest project "Eyes on Future". The classroom is operated in cooperation with the the University of Regensburg. Primarily, it is used to study eye movements in different areas of software engineering. In addition, LaS³ also offers various courses in bachelor and master education on the topic of eye tracking and already makes this technology accessible to students.

The speakers
Dr. Mirjana Sekicki
Eye tracking research advocate, Tobii
I work closely with scientific researchers who use eye tracking in their work. My mission is to create an ever stronger bond between the worlds of science and technology, for the advancement of our collective knowledge and wellbeing.
Dr. Stefan Küchemann
LMU MUNICH, PHYSICS EDUCATION
Since mid-2022, Dr. Küchemann has been a group leader for AI in Physics Education at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich. In his group, he uses stationary and mobile eye-tracking solutions to understand students' learning and problem-solving processes in physics.
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Mottok
OTH Regensburg, Computer Science
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Mottok has been a professor of computer science since 2004 and a research professor for "Safe and Secure software-intensive Systems" at OTH Regensburg since 2017. He teaches fundamental courses in software engineering and programming languages, as well as specialized courses in functional safety, IT security (with applied cryptography), and reliability. His methodological expertise lies in the integration of application-oriented research with teaching in activating learning formats. He leads the Software Engineering Laboratory for Safe and Secure Systems (LaS³), where numerous research projects and academic educational biographies are conducted. Prof. Dr. Jürgen Mottok is a member of the board of the IT Security Cluster and organizer of the technical didactics working group on Software Engineering at Bavarian universities. He is also a member of the program committees of numerous scientific conferences and has received awards for his outstanding teaching and collaboration between business and academia. Five of his former doctoral students have since become professors themselves.
Lisa Grabinger M.Sc.
RESEARCH ASSISTANT AND PH.D. STUDENT, OTH REGENSBURG AND THE UNIVERSITY OF REGENSBURG
Lisa Grabinger M.Sc. studied “Electrical Engineering and Information Technology” (B.Eng.) and “Applied Research” (M.Sc.) at the OTH Regensburg. With internships at BMW and Vector Informatik she discovered her enthusiasm for data science – from big data and machine learning to causal inference. Currently, she is doing research on and with eye tracking systems as a research assistant and Ph.D. student at the OTH Regensburg and the University of Regensburg, respectively.
Florian Hauser M.A.
RESEARCH ASSISTANT AND PH.D. STUDENT, OTH REGENSBURG AND THE UNIVERSITY OF REGENSBURG
Florian Hauser M.A, studied “Educational Science” (B.A. and M.A.) at the University of Regensburg. After that, he gathered experience in industry as a project consultant at Bayernwerk. Currently, he is doing (eyetracking) research on expertise in code reviews as a research assistant and Ph.D. student at the OTH Regensburg and the University of Regensburg, respectively.
Kirill Novikov M.Sc.
Research Scientist, Tobii
Research Scientist and member of the Multimodal Group at Tobii, where he supports researchers in their eye tracking journey by providing expert trainings and consultations on eye tracking methodology and analysis with a primary focus on Medical and Scientific research. He has a degree in Medical Physics with a specialization in Tomography and Radiologic imaging, with 11 years of experience in the Medical field. In total, over 15 years of experience in education, consultancy and engineering including several years of experience in eye tracking.
