Affective-tutor

Another example of a human-like user interface is the inclusion of emotion (Miller et al., 1999). Current work in this area includes cameras that monitor facial expressions and sensors that detect physiological changes. These signals provide the information necessary for an affective tutor to adjust a program to react to emotions. For example, if the tutor detects confusion, an alternative explanation could be offered. Researchers are also working on user interfaces that express emotion to the user as well. These are based on animated characters that change facial expressions to react to input questions. These advances could be of benefit to individuals who have intellectual disabilities and require more concrete interactions. 

Of course, you might get called on to solve a problem where V2 is not the unknown. The key to correctly answering these problems will be your ability to identify and isolate the unknown. It is an unfortunate fact that some students do poorly in chemistry, simply because their algebra skills are somewhat weak. If you identify such a weakness in yourself, don t let it affect your chemistry class. Get an algebra tutor, or look for Master Math Algebra (also published by Career Press).

It was argued that tutoring involves establishing a workable balance between cognitive and affective needs, a balance that is delicate and extremely important in the conative domain of learning. An HMITS is a hybrid system that must maintain the best of the ITS world and the best of the HMS world, even though each emphasizes a distinct tutorial view. The aim of such a system becomes provocation into browsing.
