Emotion Based LMS: An Investigation of User Perceptions and Attitudes

Abstract

This study offers a comprehensive review of various methodologies for emotion based emotion Learning Management Systems (LMS) and examines the use of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to investigate how learner beliefs and attitudes influence emotion based LMS use among higher education learners by evaluating the relationships between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude and behavioural intentions. In the study, 40 potential users were presented with an introductory demonstration of emotion based LMS for an IT course. Following the demonstration, data on user perceptions and attitudes about emotion based LMS were gathered based on this initial exposure. Hierarchical multiple regressions were used to assess the overall model and influence of each variable of interest in determining behavioural intentions to use emotion based LMS. The analysis showed that both the user perceptions and attitudes have significant positive effects on behavioural intention to use emotion based LMS. Implications of these findings for practice and research are examined and discussed. 154 Index Terms-emotion recognition, emotion-based elearning, e-learning, learning management systems, technology acceptance model 155

Imperatives of Paradigm Shift in Current Pedagogical Strategies in Nigerian Public Universities

“…Nwagwu [36] reported availability of limited expertise because there are few technical staff to maintain the operations system. Teoh and Hoe [54] reported that lack of, and inadequately trained personnel as challenge to the use of ICT in most Nigerian higher institutions. Maphalala and Adigun [1] state that academics in the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) from Africa are plagued by systemic challenges and have limited skills required for the implementation and integration of e-learning.…”

Measuring user emotional responses using Geneva Emotion Wheel towards learning management systems

“…learning management system (LMS) is a learning platform that students regularly visit; hence, the system's design should provide the students with a positive experience. This is because emotions act as a mood and feeling of a person during the learning process [2]. Emotions are delicate and often influenced by the circumstances in which they occur or their experiences while going through a process.…”

Therefore, the LMS, which applies the appropriate emotional design, can evoke positive emotions and lead to positive learning outcomes.…”
