Emotional model for learning

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to put forward a new model for emotional interaction that uses learning and cognitive styles and student emotional state to adapt the user interface, learning content and context. The model is based on a constructivist approach, assessing the user knowledge and presenting contents and activities adapted to the emotional characteristics, learning and cognitive styles of the student. The intelligent behaviour of such platform depends on the existence of a description of the characteristics of the student– the student model. The contents of this model and emotional state of the student are used by a domain and interaction model to select the most appropriate response to student’s actions.
