One of the ways that EEGs have been used in educational studies is in the assessment ofstudents’ attention. The results of these experiments could be used to provide feedback toinstructors during remote learning activities, or to test the efficacy of new teaching methods.EEG signals can be divided into 5 frequency domains: delta (0.5 – 4Hz), theta (4 – 8Hz), alpha(8 – 14Hz), beta (14 – 30Hz), and gamma waves (> 30Hz).

The conversion ofthese courses to an objective-based system to assess mastery launched a reconsideration of thefundamental strands—the DNA—of the courses. The design objective of
