ABSTRACT
This paper explores the neglected role of emotion in education and particularly of emotion in online education. It presents some historical considerations concerning emotion, and some recent findings on brain research, emotion and learning. A CEO model that incorporates consideration of emotion in web-based education is presented along with recent findings from an e-focus group that asked participants, who had just completed a web-based course, about their perceptions of emotions in online education. It concludes with a summary of early findings and suggestions for those developing and conducting web-based courses on how to incorporate emotions into web-based learning. doi:10.1300/J017v25n01_05 [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-HAWORTH.
