Abstract	In the current era of digital and remote learning, sustaining consistent attention and engagement during study sessions has emerged as a significant challenge for students. Factors such as mobile device distractions, social media usage, and the informal nature of home-based learning environments often contribute to decreased concentration, lower productivity, and suboptimal academic performance. To mitigate these challenges, this study introduces an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven Study Monitoring System that continuously evaluates a student’s attentiveness in real time using a standard webcam. The proposed system employs advanced computer vision and machine learning algorithms to interpret facial expressions, eye movements, and head orientation—critical indicators of focus and engagement. When the system detects a prolonged absence of the student’s face or identifies behavioral patterns indicating distraction—such as looking away, eye closure for extended durations, or facial inactivity—it automatically triggers an alert or auditory notification to prompt the user to regain focus. To ensure accuracy and adaptability, the system is trained using diverse datasets encompassing various facial expressions, illumination conditions, and head poses. Lightweight deep learning architectures such as MobileNet and EfficientNet are utilized to achieve high efficiency and real-time inference on standard computing devices, eliminating the need for dedicated graphics hardware. The proposed solution contributes to the broader field of intelligent learning environments by offering a scalable, low-cost, and effective method for enhancing self-regulated learning and concentration monitoring.
