Fermat: Merging Affective Tutoring Systems with Learning Social Networks

We present Fermat, an Intelligent Social Network for Mathematics Learning, which integrates an Intelligent Tutoring System as an extra feature to help students to improve the teaching and learning process. The intelligent tutor takes into account both cognitive and affective aspects. The social network and the affective tutoring systems are accessed from the web. Initial results in math show the benefits of using the tutoring system besides the all-known benefits of using a social network as the user interface.
