Responding affectively in online learning situations

This paper describes a system's implementation that evaluates the learner's affective state and based on computer intelligence, responds affectively. Prominent theories and models of emotions are reviewed and analysed, especially in respect to learning, together with emotion recognition technologies. Finally, we set open issues for future experimentation, contributing to the research agenda.
