Abstract
The ELEIN system reached two important issues for e-Learning: the presence of virtual tutors and the importance of emotions in the learning process. In this research we deal with the presence by means of using an expressive 3D animated avatar. Regarding the emotions in the learning process, we differentiate between static and dynamic generation of emotions. In the paper, we specially detailed the development of the dynamic generation, which is achieved by means of the implementation of a computational emotional model based on the cognitive perspective.
