Abstract

Learning is a quintessential emotional experience. A learner's performance is affected by his emotions. It is essential for a learning system to observe a learner's emotions and response with appropriate learning contents. In this paper, we propose a mechanism to adapt the presentation and difficulty level of contents with respect to the learner's emotional states. The goal is to sustain the learner's curiosity and fascination and to minimize anxiety. The learner's emotional states are detected and the appropriate adaptive presentation method is selected accordingly. The proposed system uses Markov chain as a mean to estimate the emotions. A brief discussion on how to obtain the transitional probabilities of different emotional states is also provided.
