Abstract

The purpose of this paper is a case study of the development of a device that could collect and evaluate biosignals by people engaged in learning activities. The physiological reactions of the body, affects the conductivity of the skin producing bio-signals that provides the opportunity to estimate some basic human emotional states. In particular stressful situations have resulted in increased moisture in human skin, reducing the resistance and increasing the conductivity of the skin to electrical current. In this case study there is a reference to adaptive collaborative learning support. This work suggests that emotional state regulation may be an important factor in implementing the adaptivity of learning activities.
