Introduction

• In distance learning, teachers and students

communicate and interact through a Virtual Learning

Environment (VLE).

• Knowing the student's emotions during the access to

VLE may support the improvement of the quality of

interaction.

Liane Mahlmann Kipper 4

In the learning process there is a relationship between cognition

and emotion.

•Longhi et al (2007), say "affection may assist in reasoning.“

•Piaget (1983) says "Surely affectivity or its deprivation may be

the cause of acceleration or delay in cognitive development.“

•Picard et al. (2004) talk about the tendency to see the

computer as a learning "motivator" by making use of emotions

for better interaction.

Introduction

Liane Mahlmann Kipper 5

Therefore, it is possible to see the importance of

studies in the relationship between cognition and

emotion in VLE.

Objective

7

To capture the emotions of the student, through a

specific software during the process of interaction

with the VLE, and together with the result of the

assessment of student learning in an activity

course, to realize the existence of the relationship

between emotion and cognition, and use this

information to make improvements in learning.

According to Nunes (2012), when computational tools may

infer emotions of users in applications such as VLEs, it is

possible to say that these tools promote affective computing.

In Nunes et al. (2011), say that in the process of learning…

• The teacher take on the role of mediator;

• Students seek more knowledge.

Infer

Student’s emotion:

Joy, Sadness, Anger,

Fear, Disgust or

Surprise.

Action: Adaptation of VLE

according to the emotion

inferred.

According to Duran et al. (2004), cognition is a knowing process

that involves some aspects such as attention, perception,

memory, judgment, reasoning, imagination, thought and

speech.

For the student to have improvement in the learning process,

he/she must be motivated for cognitive processes to be

achieved in all respects.

Method of Inference and the VLE

11

• To infer the emotion of the student in the Virtual Learning

Environment, the method will use software that was

developed at UNISC.

(Böhm, 2011)

Method of Inference and the VLE

12

• The VLE was developed by a research group at UNISC.

This environment has already expressed emotions through

intelligent agents.

Methodology

13

Stages of work:

Liane Mahlmann Kipper

Capturing the emotion of the student by the use of software that makes the inference

through facial expressions.

Integrating inference method with VLE.

Defining moments when the emotion of the

student will be inferred.

Assessing learning.

Adapting the presentation of the content.

Conclusion

• This research aims to capture the emotion of the

student through software that analizes facial

expressions;

• To make this software work with VLE, or taking part

in it, which sets up an integration between both;

• To adapt the content of the VLE according to the

inferred emotion;

• And to assess student learning to find out if the

process was useful or not in improving student

learning.
