The aim of this survey is to provide an overview of the various components of “computer aided affective learning systems.” The research is classified into 3 main scientific areas that are integral parts of the development of these kinds of systems. The three main scientific areas are: I) emotions and their connection to learning; ii) affect recognition; and iii) emotional instruction and design. Affective learning instructional technology is a new, multi-disciplinary research area, which has been developed during the last decade.
