Abstract
One of the most challenging context features to detect when making recommendations in educational scenarios is the learner’s affective state. Usually, this feature is explicitly gathered from the learner herself through questionnaires or self-reports. In this paper, we analyze if affective recommendations can be produced with a low cost approach using the open source electronics prototyping platform Arduino together with corresponding sensors and actuators. TORMES methodology (which combines user centered design methods and data mining techniques) can support the recommendations elicitation process by identifying new recommendation opportunities in these emerging social ubiquitous networking scenarios.
