Description
Do happier students make better learners? How much do our emotions dictate how we learn? And can we use this information to make university courses better? These are just some of the questions tha...t were explored as part of a special talk by some of the UK's leading academics in this area. In this video, Garron Hillaire, OU PhD student, Institute of Educational Technology, will describe how his research categorises over 200 emotions related to learning. He will reveal how traces of student data are being used for emotional measurement. With these measures he will be leveraging the OU learning laboratories to validate the approach by examining physiological responses including facial muscle movement, heart rates, and galvanic skin sensors. Most importantly in the coming year these studies will expand to a University context to explore the role of emotion in Higher Education.
