OVERT METRICS FOR COVERT EMOTIONS
MAKING LEARNER EMOTIONS VISIBLE THROUGH MULTIMODAL SENSOR BASED DATA
In this project, we delve into the intricate connection between emotions and learning experiences, recognizing their significant impact on learning outcomes. To create truly intelligent digital learning environments, it is imperative to consider the learner's emotional state. A pre-requisite to this is real-time emotion detection, which may be made possible by wearable and portable sensors. In this research, my aim is to identify key indicators of learner emotions by analyzing features derived from various physiological processes and eye-tracking. Results of this project will contribute to making learning environments more attuned to learners' emotions, fostering personalized and enriched educational experiences. Duration: 2020 - 2024
