Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increase in research on privacy preserving e-Learning. As authors argue the need for privacy, there were no studies performed to corroborate this need. However, it is established that the learner's emotion do affect his learning. Therefore, this paper investigates the impact of privacy on the learner's emotional state. Particularly, we perform an experiment where participants perform web-based tests, in a no privacy and privacy enforced environments. We report as well on our analysis and findings.
