Sensing Affect to Empower Students: Learner Perspectives on Affect-Sensitive Technology
summary
Two mixed-method studies probe student views: 11 in-class observations with affect-sensing wristbands plus interviews and a survey of online OMSCS students. Students accept affect data for legitimate uses but cite accuracy confounds, privacy/security, and fear of using signals for grading; many prefer anonymized aggregated sharing and full control. Design wants unobtrusive, socially acceptable wearables, clear but minimal feedback, and sensors that support scaling for empowerment by enabling self-regulated learning rather than only instructor surveillance.
