Experimental Results and Evaluation of SmartBox Stimulation Device in a P2P E-learning System

A Study of Using SmartBox to Embed Emotion Awareness through Stimulation into E-learning Environments

“…SmartBox [9,10,11] (Fig. 3) is an end-user smart device of small size and very cheap, which was originally intended to both control distance learners during their study and check the patients health situation, in a Wide Area Network (WAN) using JXTA-Overlay platform [18].…”

“…3) is an end-user smart device of small size and very cheap, which was originally intended to both control distance learners during their study and check the patients health situation, in a Wide Area Network (WAN) using JXTA-Overlay platform [18]. For the sake of e-Learning, SmartBox is used to stimulate distance learners' motivation and increase the learning efficiency [11]. The motivation behind is the low completion rate found in open universities and e-Learning courses in general [9,13].…”

“…In this section we briefly explain the main I/O SmartBox functions and results for e-Learning purposes based on data collected in the experiments [11] (Fig. 4).…”

“…To this end, we explore the use of an end-user smart device named Smartbox [10,11] for measuring emotions of distance learners from their physical behavior during the study, and then provide an affective response to learners by direct stimulation that has a positive influence in their performance. This response may be combined with other affective feedback to ultimately enhance the e-Learning process [12] [13].…”

Anonymous communications for JXTA peer-to-peer services: A multi-protocol approach

“…Created by SUN in 2001, JXTA has iterated through successive revisions during its 10 years of history, slowly gaining popularity, with over 2,700,000 downloads and more than 120 active projects. Such projects range from real-time collaboration or web search to remote robot control (Connex, 2007;Matsuo K, 2009;Lele N., 2009).…”
