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 whi...ch were explored as part of a special talk by some of the UK's leading academics in this area. OU Technology Enhanced Learning experts are researching a concept called ‘analytics of emotions’ which means that in the future, devices like eye trackers and facial recognition software will analyse students’ emotional states when they are learning. These devices can gauge whether students are bored or frustrated by their online materials by the amount they sigh or frown. In this video, Dr Bart Rienties, Reader in Learning Analytics at the OU, highlighted the role of emotions in learning and questioned why they are often ignored.
