Abstract

Teaching and learning are processes that generate a wide range of emotions in both students and lecturers, which are often kept private and not expressed in the classroom. Emotions may arise in the classroom or auditorium because of the material being taught, the way it is taught, the interaction with fellow students or the lecturer, as well as other factors such as the physical conditions of the lecture room. In the classroom, emotion is primarily communicated in an covert way, as in the gestures or the speech of teachers and students which may not be sufficient for good communication, as for example, in large auditoria or during online teaching. In other cases, the emotional load itself may hinder the expression of students and teachers. We report here on the results of applying a user-centered design approach to the design and development of a system that allows students to communicate emotion during the lecture in an efficient way, while the lecturer monitors and responds to them in real-time. Our findings suggest that students are interested in a cross-platform application that can be run on both their laptop and mobile devices. Furthermore, they wanted a solution that would not distract them from the lecture and that they could use effortlessly. Based on the evaluation of a prototype, the overall feedback shows that the system we developed appears to be promising and the system’s operation causes no disruption or concern while listening or delivering the lecture.
