In this synthesis, we systematically review research on educational games with adaptivity.
Although an adaptive gaming experience provides personalization to learning, the …

Virtual reality (VR) is projected to play an important role in education by increasing student
engagement and motivation. However, little is known about the impact and utility of …

Engagement is critical to satisfaction and performance in a number of domains but is
challenging to measure and sustain. Thus, there is considerable interest in develo** …

This paper reports on a research study of 45 classes in US schools (grades 3–8) using
Zoombinis, a popular Computational Thinking (CT) learning game for ages 8 to adult. The …

Tutoring systems that are sensitive to affect show considerable promise for enhancing
student learning experiences. Creating successful affective responses requires …

The past few years have seen a surge of interest in deep neural networks. The wide
application of deep learning in other domains such as image classification has driven …

Affect detection is a key component of intelligent educational interfaces that can respond to
the affective states of students. We use computer vision, learning analytics, and machine …

This chapter discusses the ubiquity and importance of emotion to learning. It argues that
substantial progress can be made by coupling the discovery-oriented, data-driven, analytic …

This chapter reports how affective computing (in terms of detection methods and intervention
approaches) is considered in adaptive e-learning systems. The goal behind is to enrich the …

Affect dynamics in digital learning systems (DLS) research investigates how students'
emotions evolve while using these systems. This information can reveal the most common …
