1. USER EMOTIONS, ONE KEY TO IMPROVE E-LEARNING?User emotional dimensions in e-learning. Erja Anttonen & Kaisa Myllylä

2. Wearestudying • Our main question as media educators is how to develop e-learning? • Our intention is to look e-learning from the emotional point of view, especially in through the students´ satisfaction and motivation. • Main questions are how to get added students´ satisfaction and sustain motivation during the course and how to minimized students´ frustration experience.

4. OUR CASE: Jaanaand Pekkaattend to the online course

5. Conclusion(theoryand previoussurveys) • According to the pride-frustration model students with negative emotional experience go to negative cycle and the students with positive emotional experience go to the positive cycle. • It is necessary that we minimize frustration experiences for students and that we concentrate to recognize the several reasons which drive students into the negative cycle.

6. Conclusion(theoryand previoussurveys) • Students satisfaction towards e-learning consist numbers of factors. • The first and the most important factor is personality of student • commitment to the course and technical skills • especially students computer and technical skills should be develop • The second factor which rises up was e-classroom properties • course material and e-learning environment • students prefer to use traditional learning materials rather than new digital materials • Last factor is e-learning properties • usability and flexible

7. Conclusion(theoryand previoussurveys) • Interaction with the instructor has strong impact to students satisfaction. • For us it was surprising to note that, interaction with the study group did not rise a large role in students own satisfaction.

8. Solving the case • For Jaana we should: • Provide more tutor action in e-learning environment to support social interaction. • give more variation and possibilities to choose the most effective way to study and execute the course. • provide also possibility to use traditional text books in addition to new digital sources.

9. Solving the case • For Pekka we should: • Concentrate more for beginning of the course because it is the most important element for student motivation • Concentrate more to set personals goals for Pekka • To offer more individual tutoring determine own learning goals and opportunities to choose study topics. • Think about the course schedule • Little and often may be more convenient for the learner.

10. E-learning as a society phenomenon • E-learning has increased more options for the learner to take a course from any part of the world. This is good for the learner, but makes the e-learning market very competitive (Khan & Joshi 2006). • In the other words, e-learning will form money business where competing organizations try to appeal to students´ feelings rather than develop pedagogical point of view. • Some group of people may benefit more from e-learning course than the others (Juutinen & Saariluoma 2010). • We can also discuss that does e-learning build bridges or gaps between people? • For example we can perhaps see in the future divisions in skills of using technology between rich and poor people, old and milleneum generation and immigrants.

11. Solving the case • Our job as an course integrators is to make learning process even more visible so we can support students metacognitive skills. • Students should pay more attention developing their own learning process not only results. • As an solution we highlight blended learning module which can offer support from the instructor and also from the study group and there by student can feel more satisfaction. • But in the future we have to concentrate to developed and design material which can provide enough challenge for Millenium generation
