Single Sentence Summary:

This paper proposes a radio frequency identification-based real-time student monitoring and visualization system which shows that performance expectancy, effort expectancy and facilitating conditions have positive and significant influence on the usability expectancy of the visualization system.

Abstract:

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to monitor in-class activities and the performance of the students.

Design/methodology/approach

A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the proposed system using a questionnaire with 132 participants (teachers and non-teachers) in a presentation style to record the participant’s perception about performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), facilitating conditions (FC), usability expectancy (UE) and user’s satisfaction (S) based on unified theory of acceptance use of technology (UTAUT) model.

Findings

The results show that PE, EE, FC had positive and significant influence on the UE of the proposed system. The effect of EE and FC on UE was seen to be more in female compared to male participants. The teacher category considered the PE and EE as important factors in determining their decision to use the proposed system.

Originality/value

A real-time student(s) visualization system based on the concept of real-time student locating system using radio frequency identification technology is proposed. Concepts can be categorized within the Internet of Things in the education domain.
