Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a transformative catalyst in digital education, reshaping how learners and instructors interact in virtual learning environments (VLEs). Yet, one of the persistent challenges in online education is the inability to recognize and respond to learners’ emotional states, a factor that is central to motivation, attention, and long-term academic achievement. Traditional VLEs, while scalable and accessible, often overlook the affective dimension of learning, resulting in disengagement, cognitive fatigue, and higher dropout rates. AI-powered emotional recognition, underpinned by affective computing, deep learning, and multimodal analytics, offers a promising solution.
