ABSTRACT:

Domain: Application
Technology: Python
In the rapidly evolving landscape of remote and online learning, the ability to monitor and assess
students' engagement and productivity has become increasingly vital. This paper presents a
pioneering approach to address this challenge through "Privacy-Preserving On-Screen Activity
Tracking and Classification in E-Learning Using Federated Learning." Our innovative solution
combines the benefits of real-time user monitoring with stringent privacy protection, aiming to
distinguish whether students are effectively utilizing their time for knowledge development or,
regrettably, wasting it. E-learning platforms have gained immense popularity, especially in light
of global events necessitating remote education. However, ensuring that students are actively
engaged and focused during online sessions remains a significant concern. Our approach
leverages Federated Learning, a decentralized machine learning paradigm, to safeguard user
privacy while accurately classifying on-screen activities. By employing this technique, we
address the dual challenge of preserving user privacy and providing valuable insights into the
efficiency of online learning. Federated Learning empowers our system to train machine learning
models collaboratively across multiple user devices, eliminating the need to centralize sensitive
data on a single server. This ensures that individual user data, including screen recordings and
interactions, remains on their devices, preserving user privacy and complying with stringent data
protection regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA. This decentralized approach sets our solution
apart from traditional methods that risk privacy breaches and data security concerns.Our system's
classification capabilities are built upon deep learning models that analyze on-screen activities in
real-time. By considering various factors such as user interactions, screen content, and time
management patterns, our system can effectively differentiate between productive knowledge
development and unproductive behavior, such as distractions or disengagement. This information
empowers educators and institutions to take timely corrective actions, thereby enhancing the
overall effectiveness of online education. "Privacy-Preserving On-Screen Activity Tracking and
Classification in E-Learning Using Federated Learning" represents a groundbreaking
contribution to the field of e-learning monitoring. By integrating Federated Learning with
advanced classification models, we strike a delicate balance between user privacy and
educational effectiveness. This innovative approach enables educators to make informed
decisions, fosters student engagement, and ultimately ensures that time spent in e-learning
environments is optimized for knowledge development rather than wasted. As the landscape of

experiences.
1.4 Scope:
This project's scope encompasses the development of a privacy-preserving system for on-screen
activity tracking and classification in e-learning environments. It targets students and users of
online learning platforms. The system employs Federated Learning to ensure data privacy while
assessing user engagement. It aims to differentiate between productive learning and time-wasting
activities, ultimately providing insights to enhance e-learning experiences.
1.5 Project Introduction:
In the dynamic landscape of e-learning, the demand for personalized and adaptive learning
experiences has grown exponentially. As educational platforms incorporate sophisticated
technologies to enhance user engagement and tailor content delivery, concerns about user
privacy have become increasingly prominent. Traditional on-screen activity tracking methods
often compromise user privacy, raising ethical and legal issues. This project introduces a
groundbreaking solution — Privacy-Preserving On-Screen Activity Tracking and Classification
in E-Learning using Federated Learning. The primary goal of this project is to develop a robust
system that seamlessly integrates on-screen activity tracking and classification mechanisms into
e-learning platforms while prioritizing user privacy through the implementation of federated
learning. Federated learning is a decentralized machine learning approach that enables model
training across multiple devices or servers without exchanging raw data. By adopting this
paradigm, our system ensures that sensitive user information remains localized and secure on
individual devices.
The proposed system leverages advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze on-screen
activities, including mouse movements, keyboard inputs, and other relevant metrics, to
understand user engagement and learning patterns. Through federated learning, these algorithms
are trained collectively without exposing individual data points, preserving the privacy of each
learner. This innovative approach not only enhances the adaptability of e-learning content but

4. REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS
4.1 Functional and non-functional requirements
Requirement’s analysis is very critical process that enables the success of a system or software
project to be assessed. Requirements are generally split into two types: Functional and non-
functional requirements.

Domain: Application
Technology: Python
Functional Requirements: These are the requirements that the end user specifically
demands as basic facilities that the system should offer. All these functionalities need to be
necessarily incorporated into the system as a part of the contract. These are represented or
stated in the form of input to be given to the system, the operation performed and the output
expected. They are basically the requirements stated by the user which one can see directly in
the final product, unlike the non-functional requirements.
Examples of functional requirements:
1) Authentication of user whenever he/she logs into the system
2) System shutdown in Medical Insurance Cost.
3) A verification email is sent to user whenever he/she register for the first time on some
software system.
Non-functional requirements: These are basically the quality constraints that the
system must satisfy according to the project contract. The priority or extent to which these
factors are implemented varies from one project to other. They are also called non-behavioral
requirements.
They basically deal with issues like:
 Portability
 Security

o How end users respond to different elements of forms and screens.
Objectives for Input Design:
The objectives of input design are −
 To design data entry and input procedures

 To reduce input volume
 To design source documents for data capture or devise other data capture methods
 To design input data records, data entry screens, user interface screens, etc.
 To use validation checks and develop effective input controls.
Output Design:
The design of output is the most important task of any system. During output design, developers
identify the type of outputs needed, and consider the necessary output controls and prototype
report layouts.
Objectives of Output Design:
The objectives of input design are:
 To develop output design that serves the intended purpose and eliminates the production
of unwanted output.
 To develop the output design that meets the end user’s requirements.
 To deliver the appropriate quantity of output.
 To form the output in appropriate format and direct it to the right person.
 To make the output available on time for making good decisions.
5.2 UML Diagrams:

Domain: Application
Technology: Python
UML stands for Unified Modelling Language. UML is a standardized general-purpose

modelling language in the field of object-oriented software engineering. The standard is
managed, and was created by, the Object Management Group.
The goal is for UML to become a common language for creating models of object-
oriented computer software. In its current form UML is comprised of two major components: a
Meta-model and a notation. In the future, some form of method or process may also be added to;
or associated with, UML.
The Unified Modelling Language is a standard language for specifying, Visualization,
Constructing and documenting the artifacts of software system, as well as for business modelling
and other non-software systems.
The UML represents a collection of best engineering practices that have proven
successful in the modelling of large and complex systems.
The UML is a very important part of developing objects-oriented software and the
software development process. The UML uses mostly graphical notations to express the design
of software projects.
GOALS:
The Primary goals in the design of the UML are as follows:
1. Provide users a ready-to-use, expressive visual modelling Language so that they can
develop and exchange meaningful models.
2. Provide extendibility and specialization mechanisms to extend the core concepts.
3. Be independent of particular programming languages and development process.
4. Provide a formal basis for understanding the modelling language.
5. Encourage the growth of OO tools market.
6. Support higher level development concepts such as collaborations, frameworks, patterns
and components.
7. Integrate best practices.

5.3 USE CASE DIAGRAM
 A use case diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a type of behavioral
diagram defined by and created from a Use-case analysis.
 Its purpose is to present a graphical overview of the functionality provided by a system in

terms of actors, their goals (represented as use cases), and any dependencies between
those use cases.
 The main purpose of a use case diagram is to show what system functions are performed
for which actor. Roles of the actors in the system can be depicted.

Domain: Application
Technology: Python
CLASS DIAGRAM
In software engineering, a class diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a type of
static structure diagram that describes the structure of a system by showing the system's classes,
their attributes, operations (or methods), and the relationships among the classes. It explains
which class contains information
SEQUENCE DIAGRAM
 A sequence diagram in Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a kind of interaction

diagram that shows how processes operate with one another and in what order.
 It is a construct of a Message Sequence Chart. Sequence diagrams are sometimes called

event diagrams, event scenarios, and timing diagrams

Domain: Application
Technology: Python
COLLABORATION DIAGRAM:
In collaboration diagram the method call sequence is indicated by some numbering technique as
shown below. The number indicates how the methods are called one after another. We have
taken the same order management system to describe the collaboration diagram. The method
calls are similar to that of a sequence diagram. But the difference is that the sequence diagram
does not describe the object organization whereas the collaboration diagram shows the object
organization.

Domain: Application
Technology: Python
DEPLOYMENT DIAGRAM
Deployment diagram represents the deployment view of a system. It is related to the component
diagram. Because the components are deployed using the deployment diagrams. A deployment
diagram consists of nodes. Nodes are nothing but physical hardware’s used to deploy the
application.
ACTIVITY DIAGRAM:
Activity diagrams are graphical representations of workflows of stepwise activities and actions
with support for choice, iteration and concurrency. In the Unified Modeling Language, activity
diagrams can be used to describe the business and operational step-by-step workflows of
components in a system. An activity diagram shows the overall flow of control.

Domain: Application
Technology: Python
COMPONENT DIAGRAM:
A component diagram, also known as a UML component diagram, describes the organization
and wiring of the physical components in a system. Component diagrams are often drawn to help
model implementation details and double-check that every aspect of the system's required
function is covered by planned development.

Domain: Application
Technology: Python
ER DIAGRAM:
An Entity–relationship model (ER model) describes the structure of a database with the help of a
diagram, which is known as Entity Relationship Diagram (ER Diagram). An ER model is a
design or blueprint of a database that can later be implemented as a database. The main
components of E-R model are: entity set and relationship set.
An ER diagram shows the relationship among entity sets. An entity set is a group of similar
entities and these entities can have attributes. In terms of DBMS, an entity is a table or attribute
of a table in database, so by showing relationship among tables and their attributes, ER diagram
shows the complete logical structure of a database. Let’s have a look at a simple ER diagram to
understand this concept.
DFD DIAGRAM:
A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a traditional way to visualize the information flows within a
system. A neat and clear DFD can depict a good amount of the system requirements graphically.
It can be manual, automated, or a combination of both. It shows how information enters and

Domain: Application
Technology: Python
leaves the system, what changes the information and where information is stored. The purpose of
a DFD is to show the scope and boundaries of a system as a whole. It may be used as a
communications tool between a systems analyst and any person who plays a part in the system
that acts as the starting point for redesigning a system.

Domain: Application
Technology: Python
ALGORITHMS
Decision Tree: A decision tree classifier is a popular machine learning algorithm used for both
classification and regression tasks. It operates by recursively partitioning the input data into
subsets based on the most influential features, creating a tree-like structure of decision nodes.
Each node represents a decision based on a specific feature, leading to a sequence of decisions
that culminate in a final prediction or classification. Decision trees are interpretable, easy to
visualize, and effective in capturing complex relationships within the data. They are widely
employed in diverse fields for their ability to handle both categorical and numerical data, making
them a versatile tool in predictive modeling.
Linear Discriminant Analysis: Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a dimensionality

reduction and classification technique. The workflow involves calculating class-specific means
and scatter matrices for input features. It aims to maximize the distance between class means
while minimizing the spread within each class. Next, it computes the eigenvalues and
eigenvectors of the generalized eigenvalue problem derived from the scatter matrices. The
eigenvectors corresponding to the largest eigenvalues form the basis for the subspace, where the
data is projected. Finally, the data is transformed into this lower-dimensional space, optimizing
discrimination between classes while preserving relevant information for effective classification
tasks.
CNN: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a class of deep learning algorithms designed
for image and pattern recognition. Inspired by the visual processing in the human brain, CNNs
excel in extracting hierarchical features from input data. Comprising convolutional layers,
pooling layers, and fully connected layers, CNNs automatically learn spatial hierarchies of
features, enabling them to recognize complex patterns and structures in images. Widely
employed in computer vision tasks, such as image classification and object detection, CNNs
have revolutionized fields like image processing and have applications in various domains,
including healthcare, autonomous vehicles, and facial recognition technology.

7. SYSTEM STUDY AND TESTING
7.1 System Testing

The purpose of testing is to discover errors. Testing is the process of trying to discover every
conceivable fault or weakness in a work product. It provides a way to check the functionality of
components, sub-assemblies, assemblies and/or a finished product It is the process of exercising
software with the intent of ensuring that the
Software system meets its requirements and user expectations and does not fail in an
unacceptable manner. There are various types of test. Each test type addresses a specific testing
requirement.
7.2 Types of Tests
7.2.1 Unit testing

Unit testing involves the design of test cases that validate that the internal program logic is
functioning properly, and that program inputs produce valid outputs. All decision branches and

Domain: Application
Technology: Python
internal code flow should be validated. It is the testing of individual software units of the
application .it is done after the completion of an individual unit before integration. This is a
structural testing, that relies on knowledge of its construction and is invasive. Unit tests perform
basic tests at component level and test a specific business process, application, and/or system
configuration. Unit tests ensure that each unique path of a business process performs accurately
to the documented specifications and contains clearly defined inputs and expected results.
7.2.2 Integration testing
Integration tests are designed to test integrated software components to determine if they actually
run as one program. Testing is event driven and is more concerned with the basic outcome of
screens or fields. Integration tests demonstrate that although the components were individually
satisfaction, as shown by successfully unit testing, the combination of components is correct and
consistent. Integration testing is specifically aimed at exposing the problems that arise from the
combination of components.
Software integration testing is the incremental integration testing of two or more integrated
software components on a single platform to produce failures caused by interface defects.
The task of the integration test is to check that components or software applications, e.g.
components in a software system or – one step up – software applications at the company level –
interact without error.
Test Results: All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No defects encountered.
Acceptance Testing
User Acceptance Testing is a critical phase of any project and requires significant participation
by the end user. It also ensures that the system meets the functional requirements.
Test Results: All the test cases mentioned above passed successfully. No defects encountered.

Domain: Application
Technology: Python
7.2.3 Functional testing
Functional tests provide systematic demonstrations that functions tested are available as
specified by the business and technical requirements, system documentation, and user manuals.
Functional testing is centered on the following items:
Valid Input : identified classes of valid input must be accepted.
Invalid Input : identified classes of invalid input must be rejected.
Functions : identified functions must be exercised.
Output : identified classes of application outputs must be exercised.
Systems/Procedures: interfacing systems or procedures must be invoked.
Organization and preparation of functional tests is focused on requirements, key functions, or

special test cases. In addition, systematic coverage pertaining to identify Business process flows;
data fields, predefined processes, and successive processes must be considered for testing.
Before functional testing is complete, additional tests are identified and the effective value of
current tests is determined.
7.2.4 White Box Testing
White Box Testing is a testing in which in which the software tester has knowledge of the inner
workings, structure and language of the software, or at least its purpose. It is purpose. It is used
to test areas that cannot be reached from a black box level.
7.2.5 Black Box Testing
Black Box Testing is testing the software without any knowledge of the inner workings, structure
or language of the module being tested. Black box tests, as most other kinds of tests, must be
written from a definitive source document, such as specification or requirements document, such
as specification or requirements document. It is a testing in which the software under test is

8.CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the implementation of privacy-preserving on-screen activity tracking and

classification in e-learning through federated learning represents a significant stride towards
addressing the delicate balance between data analytics and user privacy. This innovative
approach not only ensures the confidentiality of users' sensitive information but also fosters a
secure and trustworthy e-learning environment. By leveraging federated learning, the model
learns and improves without compromising the individual user's data, thereby mitigating privacy
concerns that often accompany traditional centralized tracking systems. The adoption of this
methodology contributes to the advancement of personalized learning experiences while
upholding the principles of user privacy, paving the way for a more ethical and sustainable

integration of technology in education. As technology continues to play a pivotal role in shaping

the future of e-learning, this privacy-preserving framework offers a promising foundation for
responsible and effective educational analytics.
9. FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
Future enhancements for privacy-preserving on-screen activity tracking and classification in e-

learning using federated learning could include refining model accuracy through advanced
machine learning algorithms. Integrate differential privacy techniques to ensure individual user
data remains confidential while still contributing to the overall model's improvement. Implement
adaptive learning mechanisms to tailor the tracking and classification models to individual user
preferences, enhancing personalized learning experiences without compromising privacy.
Explore the integration of multi-modal data sources, such as incorporating eye-tracking or
sentiment analysis, to provide a more comprehensive understanding of user engagement.
Additionally, research on optimizing federated learning protocols to reduce communication
overhead and enhance scalability for large-scale e-learning platforms, ensuring efficient and
secure collaboration across diverse user environments.
