Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study is a fundamental study which aims to construct a (ambient) learning-assisting system that can provide learners with Amenity of Learning (AOL). We define AOL as a framework for the comprehensive understanding of "learners' learning outcomes derived from knowledge acquisition and learners' satisfaction of learning". Our main achievements are the following: 1) Development a computer system which can recognize learners' mental states using learners' physiological information; 2) Organization into a unified temporal structure the procedures of extracting teachers' and learners' interaction triggers and the procedures of providing AOL; 3) Systemization part of our study results into an ontology which depicts the relationships between learners' physiological information and mental states in learning. Although more explorations are needed for further systemizing and generalizing the study results introduced above, we think that we have generally achieved the objective of our study.
