Adding sensor-free intention-based affective support to an Intelligent Tutoring System

作者:

Highlights:

• A sensor-free affect-aware Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) is presented.

• The ITS is able to adapt feedback to positively affect pleasure, arousal or dominance.

• The system does not use a specific emotion detection system during operation.

• Results show that the level of scaffolding influences the subject’s affective state.

• An experiment in a real educational setting led to statistically significant results.
