Abstract

Emotions are an important issue in user modeling. This paper presents a proposal for an Affective Tutoring System (ATS) that can recognise emotions through automated facial expression and gesture analysis, and show emotions through an animated agent. The domain of the system will be addition for 8 to 9 year olds. An observational study of human tutors has been conducted as a basis for developing the tutoring strategies of the ATS.
