Abstract
Techniques are provided that employ haptic feedback to influence an engagement level of a remote user. One method comprises obtaining sensor data associated with a remote user interacting with educational content items; applying the sensor data to an analytics engine to obtain an engagement status indicating an engagement level of the remote user with the educational content items; and automatically initiating a provision of a haptic feedback signal to the remote user based on the engagement status. The engagement status may comprise an engagement score, and the haptic feedback signal may be sent to the remote user based on an evaluation of the engagement score relative to one or more threshold-based criteria. A type and/or an intensity of the haptic feedback signal can be based on one or more user preferences of the remote user.
