Intelligent Tutoring Systems and Adaptive Learning
Abstract
This project proposes a Smart Education Platform that dynamically adapts online learning content based on students’ real-time emotions to improve engagement and outcomes. Leveraging multimodal inputs—facial expressions detected via webcam using ResNet, speech sentiment analysis through Wav2Vec, and contextual surveys the system identifies states such as engagement, boredom, and annoyance. Integrated within a Flask based web application and Moodle, a reinforcement learning agent tailors interventions (quizzes, lessons, condensed material) by optimizing a reward function (+1 for engagement,-1 for negative emotions). Privacy is prioritized through webcam opt-out, on-device processing, and informed consent. The solution was validated on 20–50 learners using AffectNet and other datasets, achieving high accuracy with fivefold cross-validationThe system provide personal, scalable, and privacy-aware experiences in a variety of educational contexts, addressing the limitations for static learning platforms. A focus on emotional agility enhances efficiency and motivation, setting a standard for future massive deployment and human-centered digital learning.
The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

It is found that roles of MVPs in startups were not fully aware by entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs should consider a systematic approach to fully explore the value of MVP, as a multiple facet product (MFP).

It is found that what perceived as biggest challenges by software startups do vary across different life cycle stages, even though its significance decreases when the learning focuses of the startups move from problem to solution and their products mature.
