Presentation made by Carles Fernandez (UOC) in the EL&ML International Conference in Online Learning, 2010.

1. eL&mL 2010 Inferencing emotions through the triangulation of pupil size data, facial heuristics and self-assessment techniques Carles Fernàndez, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) AFFECTIVE TECHNOLOGY LAB St. Maarten, Netherland Antilles

2. They design how you will feel

3. It is about EMOTIONS

5. LeT’s GO into EDUCATION

6. In online learning… what we are offering is really engaging? Users expectations… Promises… What do we really give them?

10. UOC – Antigua (2001-2009)

11. Emotions, the difference between expectations and reality

14. Concept of ‘affective computing’ : “ computing that relates to, arises from, or deliberately influences emotion “ (Picard,R.) As such Affective Educational Technology , could be: “ the line of knowledge that focuses in the design and assessment of virtual learning environments and educational tools in order to promote engaging learning experiences (I love learning at UOC) “ Affective computing: the science of emotions and computers

16. What do we do with emotions and learning ?

21. The Affective Technology Lab: where we focus and where we do not The focus of our analysis of affect are: Virtual learning environments Learning tools, spaces and services Not contents Not pedagogical models Our objective is: To design learning environments and tools that promote appropriate affective states such as joy or motivation To design learning environments and tools that avoid unappropriate affective states such as boring, anxious, anger…

23. Affective Technology Lab: some of our projects Creating an affective musicplayer

24. Affective Technology Lab: some of our projects Adapting an affective-inteligent tutoring system for students

25. Affective Technology Lab: some of our projects Empowering the value of community through geolocalisation

26. Affective Technology Lab: some of our projects Learning where students are: the facebook experience

29. ASSESSING AFFECTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND TOOLS Testing the possibilities of three techniques to assess emotions

35. About the techniques (III) Self-assessment To gather affective data from the main source: learners To confirm the data gathered with pupil size and ten heuristics

36. Test performance: some examples
