The systematic review methodology was used, and our literature search resulted in 33 relevant studies meeting the inclusion criteria. A total of 23 met the minimum quality criteria and were examined in detail (16 reporting positive learning...

We automatically segment teacher audio to analyze speech vs. rest patterns, generate automatic transcripts of the teachers' speech to...
