Abstract

A lot of research has been conducted to improvise learning by means of smart incorporation of technology and multimedia. There exists a complex relationship between cognition and emotions; technology is used to elicit emotional responses to create an emotional state which people learn best. Given the increasing attention to the important relationship between learning and emotions, this chapter is about blended learning and the emotion experienced by the students. The blended learning model focuses on the learners’ freedom in the way that they learn and engross in their education. The cognitive goals are the achieved by maintaining learners’ interest throughout the course. This chapter also explores the intrinsic differences, such as individual characteristics and contextual motivational factors which influence learning.
