R.J. Lambert, PhD, Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) and Writing Center (WC): The initial outcomes planned for this innovation are to assess a number of metrics (attention, gaze patterns, fixation points, pupil dilation, and fixation stability) while students engage in a clinical reasoning task or while they interact with educational materials. We will then evaluate which metrics are associated with the most efficient and accurate strategies used by students to learn material or problem solve. It will be housed in the CAE/WC office space.
