Abstract

The pandemic of COVID-19 fast-tracked online learning, with the challenge of maintaining student engagement in the process. This paper introduces a multimodal AI architecture that integrates visual, audio, and behavioral data with lightweight deep learning models for real-time energy-efficient student engagement detection. The system adopts fusion strategies and explainability tools (Grad-CAM, SHAP) to provide transparency, fairness, and scalability. Tests prove its ability to increase inclusivity, sustainability, and responsible AI uptake in online learning.
