This research delves into the comprehensive evaluation of emotion visualizations through AffectVis, an innovative affect-aware dashboard designed for students. Titled "Revealing Perspectives: A Comprehensive Evaluation of Emotion Visualizations Using AffectVis—an Affect-Aware Dashboard for Students," the study scrutinizes the effectiveness, user experience, and educational implications of emotion visualizations within the academic context. By combining qualitative and quantitative analyses, the research aims to uncover insights that contribute to the refinement and optimization of emotion-aware technologies for student engagement and well-being.
