This chapter introduces the affectivity as decision support to the action of tutor agent. It argues that computational teaching system should take into account affective factors to do the interaction more flexibly; and that a computational architecture interacting with humans must explicitly preview beliefs and affective reasoning. It is defined as an architecture to support an agent in a way of recognizing some affective factors that represent action of humans in interaction with artificial agents. The agent is modelled through mental states and is responsible for high-level reasoning. It is presented that the cognitive evaluation of emotional situations allows more flexible actions of a system due to its adaptability to human agents. Furthermore, the author hopes that these studies will also bring contributions about which and how emotions are really involved in teaching and learning situations where one of the partners is an artificial agent.

Human-Computer Interaction modelling can benefit from machine learning. This paper presents a case study of the use of machine learning for the development of two interrelated Bayesian Networks for the purposes of modelling student interactions within Intelligent Learning Environments. The models predict (a) whether a given student's interaction is effective in terms of learning and (b) whether a student can answer correctly questions in an intelligent learning environment without requesting help. After discussing the requirements for these models, the paper presents the particular techniques used to pre-process and learn from the data. The case study discusses the models learned based on data collected from student interactions on their own time and location. The paper concludes by discussing the application of the models and directions for future work.
