In a learning environment, the students experience different
affective states. Learning environments that takes into account the
students´ affective state enhance the students´ learning, gain and
experience. Therefore, it is crucial to provide students with
different learning material and activities according to different
affective states. To provide learning that considers students´
affective states, the primary step is the detection of affective states
of a student. In this paper, we present an approach for the
detection of affective states from the patterns of students´
behavior observed during an online course. By calculating the
affective states and then filling that affective state data into the
student model of a learning management system a basis for
adaptivity is provided.
