Motivation

Currently, affective computing is a hot issue in education due to advances in various areas. A major impact comes from novel wearable and varied sensing devices that provide multimodal channels of interactions from where to detect affect. Beyond the complexity that entails processing and modeling these data in real time, there is an intrinsic difficulty in dealing with affect, which is elusive, vague, evolving, and very dependent on each individual. The latter, i.e., the personality traits, background, context and disposition of each individual is precisely what has a major impact on every other issue (see below) and thus needs further research to advance the methodological approach and developments that would support the deployment of affect-aware user-centered adaptive systems in realistic educational scenarios.

Project target

This project aims to advance the methodological and practical developments required to address the intertwine relationship between the learner’s affective and cognitive states, as the center and the target of a multisensorial affect-aware user-centered adaptive learning system, and the given context, as the framework where the educational scenario (i.e. real world settings with ecological validity) takes place and where ambient features, individual traits and background interplay, in order to provide the most appropriate response to a particular learner in a given situation.

We build on the following hypothesis:

“There are methodological and practical open issues that can be significantly advanced in the management of the affective state (i.e., gathering affective information in a multi-modal framework, detecting and modeling the affective state and responding accordingly) of each particular person through different educational scenarios if that unique person is considered from the outset to provide just-in-time adaptive feedback according to her needs.”
