Lenovo recently conducted a virtual education survey that identified various challenges for parents regarding their children’s remote learning experience due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The challenges included doubts about the effectiveness of online learning, constant monitoring that was specifically required for children, and overuse of laptops that resulted in excessive screen time and posture concerns.
To address the learning challenges in the digital education model, Lenovo Aware aims to support a superior distance learning experience so that students stay focused and motivated during online classes. This will help students improve their digital wellbeing while parents are also familiar with their children’s learning patterns.
Commenting on the software, Dinesh Nair, Head of Consumer Business at Lenovo India, said: “After the outbreak of the pandemic, the need for infrastructure for distance learning has increased significantly. Our Lenovo Aware software is designed to provide parents and guardians with insights into their children’s online engagement, class productivity and digital wellbeing so they can track successes and areas for improvement. “
Lenovo Aware uses the PC’s built-in camera to detect a person’s eye contact with the device and body language. The software reminds users to correct their posture while sitting in front of the screen and take a break from the screen to rest their eyes via audio warnings and pop-up notifications.
Users can activate the software in Lenovo Vantage. By logging in through the settings in Lenovo Aware, users can manually enable all features.
Other features of the software include a distance reminder that detects the distance between the user’s face and the PC screen to prevent the screen from being too close, which can affect eyesight.
