In teaching environments, student facial expressions are a clue to the traditional classroom teacher in gauging students' level of concentration in the course. With the rapid development of information technology, e-learning will take off because students can learn anytime, anywhere and anytime they feel comfortable. And this gives the possibility of self-learning. Analyzing student concentration can help improve the learning process. When the student is working alone on a computer in an e-learning environment, this task is particularly challenging to accomplish. Due to the distance between the teacher and the students, face-to-face communication is not possible in an e-learning environment. It is proposed in this article to use transfer learning and data augmentation techniques to determine the concentration level of learners from their facial expressions in real time. We found that expressed emotions correlate with students' concentration, and we designed three distinct levels of concentration (highly concentrated, nominally concentrated, and not at all concentrated).

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are a variety of courses offered through the online mode, paid or unpaid and has evolved as an excellent learning resource for students. The structure of the course design is mainly linear where there are a few video lectures provided by either professors of several universities, or people with expertise in the particular subject. They are usually graded on a weekly basis through quizzes or peer-graded assignments. The objective of this paper is to extract the concepts taught in the videos from the subtitles, which could later be used to enhance recommendations of the learners using their clickstream data. The teachers could also use this to see the demand for their courses. Evaluate two keyword extraction methods, which are BERT and LDA using different Coursera courses. The experimental results show that BERT outperforms LDA in terms of Coherence.
