Dynamics of Affective States During MOOC Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the temporal dynamics of learners’ affective states (e.g., engagement, boredom, confusion, frustration, etc.) during video-based learning sessions in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in a 22-participant user study. We also show the feasibility of predicting learners’ moment-tomoment affective states via implicit photoplethysmography (PPG) sensing on unmodified smartphones.

AttentiveLearner2: A Multimodal Approach for Improving MOOC Learning on Mobile Devices
We propose AttentiveLearner, a multimodal mobile learning system for MOOCs running on unmodified smartphones. AttentiveLearner uses both the front and back cameras of a smartphone as two complementary and fine-grained feedback channels in real time: the back camera monitors learners’ photoplethysmography (PPG) signals and the front camera tracks their facial expressions during MOOC learning. At...

متن کاملMonitoring Affect States During Effortful Problem Solving Activities
We explored the affective states that students experienced during effortful problem solving activities. We conducted a study where 41 students solved difficult analytical reasoning problems from the Law School Admission Test. Students viewed videos of their faces and screen captures and judged their emotions from a set of 14 states (basic emotions, learning-centered emotions, and neutral) at re...
