A few studies have appeared in the literature suggesting that team learning might be an effective means for developing emotional intelligence (EI) abilities in the workplace. This study investigated the effects of attending a one-day emotional intelligence training session followed by participating in team-based learning on ability-based measures of emotional intelligence in a sample of MBA stu...

Emotions play an important role in cognitive processes and specially in learning tasks. Online learning is no exception. Detecting a learner’s emotional reaction for a given situation is an essential element for every Distant Learning Environment. Nevertheless, inferring a learner’s emotional reaction in those environments is not a trivial task. In this paper, we present an agent capable of pre...

In spite of its importance in learning and behaviors of individuals, there have been relatively few efforts on identifying the effects of emotion and emotional strategies, especially in e-learning environment. This study examined the research trends on emotion, emotional intelligence, and emotionally sensitive instructional design in learning online. A comprehensive literature review identified...

Integrating emotional feedback to educational systems has become one of the main concerns of the affective learning research community. This paper provides evidence that Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) could be effectively used as emotional feedback to improve brainwave activity towards learning. Further research, integrating ECAs into tutoring systems is essential to confirm these result...

Organisational learning is a method of successfully dealing with continuous change. Emotional aspects of change, however, are not addressed in any detail. In this article, I explore the four branches of emotional intelligence, emotional awareness, emotional facilitation, emotional knowledge and emotional regulation to identify the links between organisational learning and emotional intelligence...

The idea of machines having emotions sounds like science fiction, however, few decades ago the idea of machines with intelligence seemed also like fiction, but today we are developing intelligent machines with successful applications. We have always overlooked the emotional factors during machine learning and decision making; however, it is quite conceivable to artificially model certain emotio...

Ample evidence suggests that emotional arousal enhances declarative/episodic memory. By contrast, there is little evidence that emotional enhancement of memory (EEM) extends to procedural skill based memory. We examined remote EEM (1.5-month delay) for cognitive skill learning using the weather prediction (WP) probabilistic classification task. Participants viewed interleaved emotionally arousi...
