Abstract

In this paper, we present a student’s affective model that considers a temporal and multi-dimensional view of the student. It considers three dimensions (i.e., individual, environmental, and social dimension), which contain static and dynamic features. Based on this model, we define a MAS, that includes emotional agents able to simulate student’s and their affective state. This system allows to simulate the effects of changes in lessons over the affective state of students.
