  Introduction  ■ Topics   Submissions   Important dates  Committees  

       
 

We invite papers, which present finished work, work in progress or theoretical positions in the following areas:

  • Affective/motivational modelling.
  • Affective/motivational diagnosis.
  • Aspects of motivation and affect relevant to learning.
  • Strategies for motivationally and emotionally appropriate tutorial feedback.
  • Integrative models of cognition, motivation, and affect.
  • Diagnosis of individual traits, motivation, and affect.
  • Learning styles, learning domains and learning contexts.
  • Learning goals, motivation, and affect.
  • Use of virtual agents as affective companions.
  • Interface design for interactions involving affect.

The workshop will be focused on exploring the following questions: 

  • Which emotions might be useful to model (e.g. basic affective reactions such as like/dislike; specific emotions such as frustration, happiness, anger; moods; attitudes)?
  • How do individual traits influence learners’ motivational and affective states?
  • How are motivation and emotional intelligences related?
  • How do cognitive factors affect learners’ emotional intelligence and vice versa?
  • Is it important and feasible to standardise cognitive and emotive terms (cognition/meta-cognition, emotion/meta-emotion)?
  • How do different learning contexts (e.g. individual, collaborative, situation specific) affect students’ emotions (and vice versa)?
  • Does emotional intelligence mature with age?
  • How do different learning domains impact on learners’ emotions?
  • What are appropriate ways to diagnose motivation and affect in Intelligent Tutoring Systems?
