Abstract

Online collaborative learning environments (OCLEs) can elicit from students different emotions, which affect their learning experience. Our work aimed to study whether emotions expressed by students with different cultural backgrounds when working in an OCLE were similar. In our empirical study, students from a UK university and a Malaysian university were grouped to solve tasks in an OCLE. We proposed a methodological approach for analysing the multimodal data (text, voice, image) captured, outlining a process for evaluating cross-cultural differences in emotional expressions in OCLEs.
