Abstract

The human-element is crucial for designing and implementing interactive intelligent systems, and therefore on instructional design. This tutorial provides a description and hands-on demonstration for detection of affective states and a description of devices, methodologies and tools necessary for automatic detection of affective states. Automatic detection of affective states requires that the computer sense information that is complex and diverse, it can range from brain-waves signals, and biofeedback readings to face-based and gesture emotion recognition to posture and pressure sensing. Obtaining, processing and understanding that information, to create systems that improve learning, requires the use of several sensing devices (and their perceiving algorithms) and the application of software tools.
