Abstract

Recent developments in affective computing have provided more options in the way online education can be delivered. However, research on how affective computing can be used in online education is lacking. The research objectives are twofold: to investigate the influence of affective EAs on students’ motivation, enjoyment, learning efficacy and intention to use, and to uncover factors influencing their intention to use an online tutorial with affective EAs. To achieve this, 190 tertiary students participated in a between-subjects experiment (text-only vs. affective-EAs). Students benefited from the affective EAs in the tutorial as indicated by the increased learning motivation and enjoyment. Moreover, relevance, confidence, satisfaction, affective enjoyment, and behavioral enjoyment were found to be significant predictors for intention to use.
