Abstract:
Emotions are present and influence the learning process. One of the current challenges is how to get the emotions experienced by learners. Numerous mechanisms have been developed for this purpose. These mechanisms assess a number of basic emotions provided by the literature. A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), on the other hand, is composed of several functionalities, in which not all emotions experienced by learners are always involved. This article presents a study conducted with experts in affective technologies and education, with the aim of obtaining the emotions that students may feel when using each of the functionalities of a VLE. The study counted with the participation of experts from several Latin American countries and concluded with a list of emotions associated with the functionalities of the VLE. The results obtained will allow the design of future mechanisms for the evaluation of emotions in VLEs, reducing the generic list used in the literature to only those emotions specific to each VLE component.
