Abstract

In the last year, schools, universities, teachers, and students had to adapt to distance learning because of the pandemic situation. The e-learning situation is very different from a face-to-face situation. One of the problems of the e-learning is that the students should be more responsible to not distracted. Another problem is that the type of computer for each student varies significantly. Finally, the traditional interaction between teacher, student and content is made more complicated by introducing technology. When new tools are applied, and there is an improvement in e-learning education, student, teacher, and educational institutions benefit from it. Emotion plays an essential role in the knowledge, acquisition, and decision process of an individual. There is also significant evidence that rational learning in humans is dependent on emotions. In this paper, we presented a solution with an Intelligent Tutor Application, that analyzed emotions in a non-intrusive and non-invasive way.
