Improving e-learning by Emotive Feedback

This paper considers the use of feedback with emotive elements in order to improve the efficiency of e-learning for teaching complex technical subjects to the general public by stimulation of implicit learning. An example is presented, based on an effort to investigate the current level of IT security among the general public, together with ways of improving it.

We present a model for implicit learning in which interactive learning material is combined with a surveying environment: the user is guided and stimulated to reflect by the questions of the survey and is offered an environment for exploration and reflection that is supported by the feedback offered by the system.
