text: The Facial Action Coding System could detect boredom in the classoom. When kids are bored in a classroom, they tend to tune out whatever lesson is being taught and then struggle to try to figure it out later. Boredom has a devastating consequences on today's students such as low test scores and poor grades. Prof. Huang predicts the Facial Action Coding System will help with this issue, saying "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." Teachers being able to see how their students are feeling would give them more insight to create lesson plans to engage all students and bring up test grades and overall GPA rates.
